    I got my private pilot license from Flying Vikings. My flight instructor was Mats. He's extremely experienced and super helpful. He has ~30 years flying experience. What I like best about Mats is that he let your learn by hand-on practice not bullshitting/briefing, which makes you learn fast and saving your money. I told him that I need to get my license in two months. Mats was doing everything he can do to help me achieving my goal. He also help me scheduled 2 check rides in desired timeframe. I would probably waste 30% more time and money if Mats wasn't my flight instructor. I highly recommend him. The owners are Joe and Saline. They are both very friendly and honest people. If, by any chance, they were any mistakes on your statement, Saline will spend time and help you correct those. They got 3 working Cessna 152s and ~2-3 172s. They have good equipments and computers too. Check out the photos too. Good luck and have fun flyings fellows!

    Nice friendly, knowledgeable folks. Got an introductory flight for both myself and my daughter. She's ready to go again. Me too.

    Joe was gracious in arranging my lesson appointment which had to be changed a couple of times due to weather.

    Took an Introductory flight here and we had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Our…read moreinstructor was Binh, and she was an absolute gem. From start to finish she has been so incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming and made something that was pretty nerve wracking feel way more comfortable and fun. We had to reschedule our flight a couple times because of getting sick and weather, but she was very accommodating. She made it her priority that we got the most fun and safe experience that she could :) She did a very good job of walking me through what to do and was really patient with me and took the time to explain parts in depth when I was unsure about someone. She allowed me to take the lead when I was feeling confident but whenever I would start to get confused or too nervous being patient and helping me through those moments. Also I appreciate her reassuring me when she could tell I was getting nervous at certain points lol helped me feel a lot calmer. The entire time she always made sure we felt completely safe with her. This was something that's been on my bucket list for a really long time and it did not disappoint would highly recommend both the experience itself and the instructor! Also, I'm not sure if she meant to do this, but I think the experience cured my fear heights so that was a bonus lol! Definitely would highly recommend!!! So much fun! It's a memory we'll never forget!

    Beware‼‼ Some kind of scam…read more Bought on their website through Yelp intro lesson as a surprise present for my husband, later I called to confirm the time and date, did not send any confirmation. They said that their pilot will call. A pilot called asking about my U.S citizenship and later offered illegal schemes for exchanging flights for weed. I do not know is it a new way of scammers but I am freaking out because their pilot keeps calling and harassing me. I blocked number but I left my address, full name and phone number on their website so I am terrified. I am this close to calling police.

    If you want to learn to fly safely and professionally, this is the place…read more Professional Flight Crew is, hands down, the best flight school in the Bay Area. Here's why: 1. Safety - when you get into a small gasoline-powered machine at 3,500 feet, you're putting your faith, and your life, in the hands of your flight instructor. PFC is obsessed with teaching the right skills and techniques to be a safe pilot, on good days, and in the event everything goes wrong. Their instructors emphasize safe operation, contingency planning, and situational awareness from Day 1. 2. Teaching skills - PFC employs the best flight instructors in the Bay Area. They have thousands of hours of experience, and they have taught hundreds of students to fly. Whether you're a natural ace, or have a fear of flying, they will teach you the skills and techniques you need to be a first-class pilot. 3. The instructors - PFC flight instructors have to be some of the nicest, most patient people on the planet. I have a good time every time I fly with them, and although I've made many mistakes, they are consistently upbeat, positive and encouraging. They won't tell you you've done a good job when you haven't (and you don't want an instructor who does!) but they will support you from your first lesson all the way to your Private Pilot License and beyond. 4. Equipment - PFC has some of the nicest planes and simulators available in Northern California. They have low wing and high wing aircraft, traditional and glass cockpits, simple and complex aircraft, and multiple simulators. Whatever you want to learn, PFC has the equipment to teach you, and it is all immaculately serviced and maintained. 5. Affordability - PFC has some of the most reasonable prices for both instruction and plane rentals in the Bay Area. Learning to fly is expensive, but PFC makes it a lot more affordable than most schools. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. If you've been thinking about learning to fly, this is the place to do it!
