"We regret to inform our flying enthusiasts that the FLYING GECKO AERIAL ADVENTURE is temporarily UNAVAILABLE until further notice." (Facebook Post by ISLANDS WANDERLUST)
The owner of the aircraft, Mr. Cal Frias, has encountered some technical difficulties. At the same time it was decided this is the best time to upgrade the business and to further ensure the safety of the flying enthusiasts. Unfortunately, the decision also included halting operations until everything has been ironed out and finalized. Hopefully the Flying Gecko will be up in the air again by January 2011.
We are truly sorry to disappoint those who have made their bookings already.

The Flying Gecko a.k.a. The Flying Habalhabal
FOR CURRENT NEWS AND UPDATES ON THE FLYING GECKO, PLEASE GO TO www.islandswanderlustours.wordpress.com
Almost every other day now, we hear this motorcycle sound coming down the road. We expect it to drive right past but instead... it flies over us! This is the Ultra Light Plane piloted by our own neighbor, Cal Frias, who just moved here last August 2009, after retiring from work in the US. Yes, he is Filipino who has come home. He has always enjoyed flying and while he was still living in the US, had bought this aircraft so that he could take it for a spin during his free time. Well, since he's been here, everyday is his free time, so he goes up and explores the world from above.

But flying by himself is boring, he says, so he invites his neighbors and friends to fly with him. He doesn't charge much, just pay for his gas. He declared, if he could fly for free, why not? Ed and I went up in December. You know, my husband and I love to travel, see new places, experience new things. I think we've seen about 90% of the whole province of Bukidnon already... but, I'm sad to correct myself, we haven't. Because when we went flying that beautiful day last December 9, we realized we haven't really seen anything. The view up there is AMAZING!
If you want to try it, contact me -Gina- at La Montana Tours & Vans or message me in Facebook (Account Name: ISLANDS WANDERLUST) so that we can have you booked into Cal's fully-booked schedule. Cost is P1,000 per person (includes a 20-minute flight and warm breakfast on the airfield).
Fly Like the Eagle!!!
