Message from a satisfied Groupon tandem client:
Hello Jim, Martina and crew:
Thank you for a wonderful day. Janet and I experienced magical moments soaring with the eagles. You made us feel safe and special. The experience was all that we could have hoped for and whets our appetites for more of the same. A special moment in time.

If you need to cancel please give us notice within 2 hours so we can cancel our pilots coming out to serve you, otherwise you will forfeit your Groupon coupons.
