My husband and grandson recently took this flight, while I waited on the ground. The pilot, Emma, was fabulous! We had taken our 11 year old grandson to Galveston for a Birthday celebration and this was definitely a high light of his day!

If you have a love for flying akin to riding motorcycles in the air. A Scallywag flight is an incredible experience as you take flight in a modern manufactured, open cockpit Waco biplane of 1930's-40's design. Aerial views over Galveston are spectacular. Highly recommend this wonderful flying experience to anyone. -Taxi
