As a first-time flyer, I was a mix of nervous and excited -- but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. My instructor, Yasin, was absolutely incredible. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also patient, encouraging, and made me feel confident every step of the way. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt comfortable in the cockpit before we even took off. This experience exceeded every expectation I had. I will 100% be returning for more lessons, and I highly recommend Farmingdale Aviation (and Yasin) to anyone who's ever dreamed of flying -- whether you're serious about becoming a pilot or just want to experience something unforgettable.

Immediately after I reached out to Maura, she got back to me and set up a meeting with the school's director and owner, Chris. We went over how the school works and the general process and then Chris set me up with my instructor, Rick Inzerillo, who did a fantastic job teaching me to fly. He's a former airline pilot who's enthusiastic and knowledgeable not only about aviation, but teaching aviation as well. I could not be happier with my experience with him and I highly recommend asking for him as your instructor. Rick, if you read this, thank you! The atmosphere was friendly and other instructors went out of their way to answer any questions I had if Rick wasn't there (Special thanks to Brad, Zach and Chris). The planes were all well maintained and if anything went wrong, quick to be fixed and put back on the flight line. Finally, after I'd gotten my certificate, I was able to rent the planes for my own use. If I had to make the choice again, I would do it with Hewison in a heartbeat!

A few years later I managed my funds appropriately only to find out Doug opened Air Ventures. I again started flying with him, after a few short weeks my confidence behind the yoke is already through the roof.
