While staying at the inn, let us arrange an airplane ride for you! Flown by professional commercial pilots through Jet-Air, Inc., the local FBO (Fixed Base Operator) at the Iowa City Airport, a sunset flight over the city is safe, fun, affordable, and beautiful.
Everyone enjoys the view from above! To give you an idea of what you will see on your flight, below are photos we have taken over Iowa City (and surrounding environs) over the past few years. On a clear day, you can see the big buildings in Des Moines!
