My discovery flight with John Radun was nothing short of amazing. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions in depth. The front office is also very welcoming and made my first visit a memorable one .

My husband loved his first experience flying a plane. And I enjoyed the flight as well! Thank you to Megan who gave excellent information, instruction, and encouragement. We were very impressed and expect to see her flying commercial flights on one of our future vacations. Thank you The Pilot Place and thank you Megan!

I had the opportunity to complete an accelerated Multi-engine rating at the Pilot Place. It was challenging but could not have done it without superb instruction by my Senior Flight Instructor, Sienna. She knows her stuff and is an excellent instructor. If looking for an MEL and a great place to do it - this is your spot. Thank you Sienna, Randall and all the folks at The Pilot Place!
