One of the oldest flying clubs in New York State. Started in the 1950's as the Sienna College…read moreFlying Club. Based at Albany International Airport. The club has two aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, 172P and a Cessna Cardinal, 177RG. Both have an excellent suite of avionics featuring a Garmin 430 which makes moving from one aircraft to the next a cinch. This club emphasizes pilot training, as a matter of fact it is part of the club's mission statement. Both zero time pilots and pilots with an ATP are encouraged to always be learning. Upper Fifteen offers the best path to learning to fly, in terms of cost and continuity with your choice of an instructor who will be with you from first flight, to solo to earning your private pilot certificate. Sometimes flight instructors elsewhere are building flight hours so they can move on to a commercial pilot job, leaving their students looking for a new instructor. The club has monthly meetings the first Wednesday of the month where all interested persons are welcome to attend the meeting. The club also has occasional open houses and aviation seminars.

My beautiful wife bought me a helicopter flying lesson for Xmas 2019 and for reasons we all know I…read morewasn't able to use it until today. I called a couple weeks ago to see if my gift certificate was still valid. Not only was it valid they were great at setting everything up for us. Even when they called to confirmed and it wasn't at the correct location the fixed the situation right away. We showed up at the Saratoga NY location and were greeted by Nick our instructor. He was amazing. He had me flying a helicopter immediately. I found a new endeavor for sure and as soon as I hit the lottery I'll be getting my helicopter license and helicopter but for now I get to cross flying a helicopter off my bucket list. Thank you

Although this airport is very small and for more localized small planes, it does have a pleasurable…read morewaiting area for pilots only. It has about 3 hangers along with several planes sitting outside these hangars. It has a few personal flights a day. It's waiting area does close, but it has runway lights that light when a plane is nearby. If you are the pilot, watch out for the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge very close and nearby. Oh, there's even a Young Eagles day 2x per year(May and October).

What an amazing experience. Kate was a great instructor, and she created such a comfortable…read moreenvironment for my first time flying a plane. If you've ever wanted to take to the sky, do it with Kate. She's great and such a value!

Fly With Kate is a great place to go for flight training, scenic rides, aircraft maintenance, and…read moreanything aviation related. The aircraft are well kept and the prices are reasonable. The owner is reliable, professional and a dedicated member of the aviation community. We are lucky she picked Ellenvile to setup shop. Based at Joseph Y Resnick airport in Ellenville, the location couldn't be more perfect. Resnick Airport is easy to fly in and out of and within a reasonable drive from most anywhere around Ulster county. The airport is usually quiet and is ideal for practice laps around the pattern. The surfaces are well kept and it's easy to get to the many other nearby airports for tower and cross country practice. If you haven't flown before or are new to aviation I would encourage you to take an introductory lesson. You can even go up with family or friends on scenic rides and sight seeing around the Hudson Valley. Intro lessons make great gifts and gift certificates are available too! Kate has been my flight instructor for the last 6 months and I am close to getting my Private Pilots License. I feel that I am learning more than the bare minimum and am gaining the knowledge and confidence to be a safe, proficient, and professional pilot. Definitely looking forward to the future and my continued training at Fly With Kate. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed!

Having always wanted to see what it was like to be up in the air (as a pilot, not a passenger), I…read morewas excited to take my discovery flight. I was thrilled that the instructor let me take the controls and (obviously) guide me to what needed to be done. The winds were gusty so the take off and landing gave a little extra gulp in my stomach, but I had a blast. Went up to about 2500 feet (maybe a bit more) and did a big circle. Had a blast. Flight instruction isn't cheap but I applaud them for the ease of scheduling and getting me up in the air so quickly. Top notch!

I brought a friend's son here a few years ago for a flight lesson birthday present. He had never…read morebeen in an airplane before and for $50 he got a 30-minute intro lesson with a pilot. Since it was his first time ever in a plane, the pilot extended the time out a little and he was up there for close to an hour. He got to control the plane a few times and brought it up many times over the years. If you sign up for more lessons, the $50 goes towards the cost of the remainder of the lessons and you can get your pilot's license. Very cool.
