The return of the 100 hamburger. This app helps you find all the fun spots to go while flying. Absolutely love it!

Super helpful for finding nearby things to do when flying!

Thanks, really appreciate it. If you find any great spots or have ideas, send them our way — we’re building this for pilots like you.

Air shows, Courtesy Cars, Restaurants

As a pilot myself this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Finding airports with courtesy cars, local fly-ins, and airshows has always been a pain Left Seat puts it all in one place. The database is massive and the UI is clean and easy to use. If you’re a GA pilot who loves having a reason to fly on the weekend, download this.

Response from developer

This is awesome to hear, that’s exactly the problem we wanted to solve. GA flying should feel like an adventure, not a scavenger hunt for info. Really appreciate you trying it out, and we’ve got a lot more coming.
