His insight, illustrations and suggestions for my CFII written exam got me a 100% (!!) which later impressed the DPE (FAA examiner). Loren worked with me and took me through all the required maneuvers and approaches to near perfection (hard to do in mountain turbulence). When I went for my checkride, it almost seemed easy compared to all the focused training. I'm amazed at how well prepared I was for this rating - all due to the expert and competency of my instructor. I highly recommend this flight school.

I have flown with a lot of CFIs over the years, and one of their instructors, Dan, was simply awesome. He was respectful of my experiences, knowledgeable in the plane and locales, and just plain had the right attitude that every CFI should, IMHO. He, and the staff who arranged my flight that was filled with schedule changes (of my doing, not theirs) have my highest commendation for providing a truly memorable flight. Thanks again, guys!!! I hope to fly with y'all again, and soon!

Our pilot Eli was so calm (important), and very knowledgeable and passionate about the area history & geology. He knew his aircraft very well, and even took the time to explain a lot about its operation and safety features. It is powered by a Rolls Royce jet turbine! He really made it a fun and interesting guided tour, and it didn't cost that much, considering the incredible experience, the "Wow" factor!

I am someone who is typically a little scared of heights, but I was totally fine on the balloon. It's very stable and not shaky at all. I loved the T-shirt and a little bottle of champagne we got at the end. Our guide, Ed, was fantastic at explaining what we were looking at and the mechanics of the balloon. I will say, you might get a better experience if you go in the summer because there will be more foliage etc. to look at, but it was still a nice time even though we went in the winter. You are not really that close to the mountains but it's still a nice view. If you do go in the winter, I would highly suggest having something to cover your ears and bringing gloves.

The pilot was very competent, which was evident during mountain wind gusts. The tour did not it feel rushed at all.
