I met a kid here who's a CFI who I'm going to talk to him within the next couple days, but I'm wondering if I can get some info on something really quick.

I want to take an intro flight. My birthday's in a week and my parents asked me what I wanted, and when I mentioned this they were pleasantly surprised. However, everytime I try to search for details on it it's just advertising for it. What should I expect? Anything to do to prepare? Will I get to do an actual takeoff, or just fly at 3000 feet? Things like that...


I'd really appreciate some help..sorry if this information is around but I'm having trouble finding it. I hope this is just the beginning of a long aviation hobby! Thanks!
