Default Airplane rides in California?

Does anyone know of a good place for "unique" airplane rides in California? I know of Thirty Thousand Feet - Aviation Rent-A-Ride but need suggestions for a 60 year-old birthday gift.

Thanks in advance.

If you're in LA, I know you can get helicopter rides out of Van Nuys. They will take you over downtown LA, down the coastline, and right up to the Hollywood sign.

How about skydiving? You don't know how much I'd like to toss my mother or the in-laws out of a plane like that. Seriously tho, that would definately be the gift that is never forgotten.

There are biplane rides (up and down the coast) out of KCRQ in Carlsbad (N. County San Diego).
