We absolutely love flying with Ilya and his wife, Lena. They are wonderful people and our neighbors. They used to invite us to fly with them all the time, but at first we were honestly nervous about flying in such a small plane.

Over the years, though, watching them head out on countless flights and always return safely gave us so much confidence. When we finally joined them, it turned out to be an absolutely incredible experience. Ilya is an exceptional pilot, and every flight with them has been memorable. We are so grateful for their generosity and for introducing us to something we never thought we’d enjoy so much.
