“The training at USFA met all my expectations. It was efficient and at the same time individualized. Every moment I had complete confidence in my instructor's methods and approach to teaching. It's obvious that he loves flying and loves showing people how to do it in the safest possible way.”

Tommy Churchwell Big Spring, TX.

“… A great aviation school to begin your career and which I highly recommend based upon my personal flight training experience at the U.S. Flight Academy.”

David Garcia Sebastian, Texas

“Thanks for teaching me to fly. I very much appreciated your working around my busy schedule. The pleasant and courteous staff were a delight to deal with and instructors made the most difficult maneuvers simple to understand and do. Their patience and professionalism are to be commended.”

Kenneth W. Lofton

“USFA was recommended to me by another pilot who had recently completed his flight training for his private license. Being away from flying for many years, I contacted USFA and was assured that my training would be completed with consideration of my busy schedule. Six weeks later I completed my check ride and had finally realized a life‑long dream. The training I received was excellent and all my questions were answered and demonstrated to my satisfaction. Many thanks to Jarle Boe for his dedication to aviation.”

Greg Mitchell Pecos, Texas

“When I selected your school for my flight training I did so on the advice of two pilot friends …” “… I am very pleased with the training I received and I want to mention some things that impressed me the most because I feel strongly that you should maintain them: you treat each student as an individual, your approach is professional, you know and adhere to the standards set by the FAA, emphasizing safety first. But the thing I appreciated most was your consistent practice of explaining exactly what we were going to do in each lesson before we got in the airplane and then going over the results after each flight. I do not know of another flight school whose instructors are willing to spend that much of this important time with their students. Thanks again for a most enjoyable experience. …”

Clifford J. Moore, Jr. Ph.D.

“… although your school was highly recommended to me by an airline pilot, I did arrive with considerable reservations about the wisdom of traveling so far and about the school itself. After enrollment and the first day's exposure to U.S. Flight Academy's special training, however, I was quite impressed with both the qualifications of your instructors, and your method of instruction. I'm convinced your training methods are the best. The fact that the school was comprised of students from all parts of the country, as well as foreign countries, serves as proof that others share my opinion. …” “… I intend to have my wife take the same training from you. Thank you for a most interesting and educational experience.”
