It's really a flight schol, in conjunction with Purdue University aviation program; they do actually give pilot's license and all. But if you have never flown an aircraft, and want to know what you'll be spending the $4000 to $5000 on before you enroll in flight school, they offer a pretty neat intro lesson. You can choose the type of aircraft, and decide if you want to take someone with you (they can snap some pictures, but I'm told life in the back seat of a Cessna is pretty rough). You get an instructor who'll interact with traffic control and land the plane for you; everything else you can do on your own, if you want to - takeoff, picking direction, turns, etc. All you need is good weather. I had fun watching birds fly - from above them...
