What People Are Saying
Great guys all around. Knowledgeable at helping me fulfill a dream to fly since I was a teenager (I’m now 46). Every time I fly I think about how awesome it is to be in the air. I’ve flown with Hunter and Ryan. Both are excellent at instructing and I continue to learn a lot with each flight. Keep up the good work!
Steve Haake
I can’t say enough good things about Kilo Charlie. I was coming from out of town to complete my private pilot license. So I wanted to get done as quickly as possible so I could get home. Robert and team accommodated my schedule superbly. From zero hours to licensed was less than 4 weeks.
Alex Staley
Great Flight School! All instructors care about your success. It feels like a family here. Everyone is helpful. Awesome fleet of planes! Perfect location to learn with ATC, runways, and variety of air traffic. This place will help you stay on a budget and get your license for less than most other places.
