It's my opinion that giving the gift of experience is one of the best gifts you can give. Why not give the gift of experience and adventure to your loved ones this holiday season? Finger Lakes Wine Country has an incredible aviation history and with that, a ride high in the sky makes our list at numbers three, four, and five. The National Soaring Museum atop Harris Hill offers visitors the chance to relive the history of soaring with detailed displays of gliders from the earliest models up to the most modern. In addition to realizing the incredible history, there is also the opportunity to take a glider ride. Give the gift that will leave your friend or family member speechless with wonder. For under $100, you cannot beat this incredible experience of motorless flight.
First Air offers helicopter rides over the Finger Lakes region. I admit I've never been in a helicopter, but everyone I have spoken to that has had this opportunity says that it's truly an exhilirating experience. You can contact the Mark Twain Country offices for further information.
Wings of Eagles Discovery Center offers rides in vintage warplane rides. This is the ideal gift for that history buff on your list.

Wings of Eagles Discovery Center is also a wonderful place to visit to learn all about the history of flight during times of war. A gift of flight over Finger Lakes Wine Country is certainly an experience that anyone receiving it will never forget.
