Angel’s In the Air II
Angel’s Share invites you to the experience of a lifetime!
Enjoy the wine country from the air in a vintage biplane or WWII fighter aircraft.
Through our exclusive association with Vintage Aircraft Company of Sonoma we’ll get you up and away in one of three amazing vintage airplanes.
Our departure point is the Sonoma Valley Airport. Located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, this small airfield is known as the home to over 150 vintage and exotic planes.
Angel's Share CEO, Mark Russo
You can choose between relaxing scenic flights touring over the wineries and vineyards of Sonoma County, or for those with “the right stuff” you can enjoy loops, rolls, hammerheads, Cuban eights and other aerobatic maneuvers high above the valley floor.
