Learning to fly is the most satisfying thing I’ve ever done. I’ve wanted to fly since I was young, watching the Thunderbirds and C-130s over my grandpa’s back yard. I realized I had an opportunity to make flying part of my everyday life now, not in retirement, and I took it. It changed my life and I couldn’t be happier. The program at Max Aero is a great combination of structured learning and predictability – a very efficient approach to flight training. Now that I’ve earned my “license to learn”, I’m eager to get up in the air, practice my skills, and continue on to earn more ratings.

I attended a ground school program put on by the Hangtown EAA Chapter in 2013. Throughout the program I met several CFIs when they came in to give presentations on various topics. I was most impressed with Dustin because of his extensive aviation knowledge. When it came time for me to select a flight instructor my first choice was Dustin at Max Aero. He was able to work with my schedule and set up a training program around my full- time work. Dustin challenged me to do my best, so that by the end, I was over-prepared for the private pilot check ride. I highly recommend Max Aero.
