    Super fun! I bought…read moremy son a flight for his 14th birthday. He had never even been in a plane before, let alone flew one. Needless to say he was a bit apprehensive about his flight. When we arrived at the Airport we were greeted by our pilot and instructor Jim. He was very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable which made my son feel at ease. After a through lesson and overview of the Cesna 187 it was time for my son take the pilots seat. I was happy to tag along. My son read the pre flight checklist from the POA and off we went. Once the plane was at altitude my son had his chance to fly. He was encouraged to bank left and right and shown how to keep the nose leval. It was very exciting to see my son flying the plane. Sadly after about 20 min it was time to land. Jim landed us safely and beautifully. It was a great experience! I don't know who liked it more me or my son? I encourage anyone who has ever wanted to fly a plane to give it a try. In addition it is a very unique and fun gift to give.Years from now my son won't remember what toys or games I buy him. However, his experience of flying a plane with JetExe will last him a lifetime. Thanks for the memories guys!

    December 16, 2017…read more JetEXE Aviation hosted a Christmas party. Invites were sent out, and I RSVP, as soon as I received my invite. The function was held in the hangar. All planes were relocated outside for this event, except for 2 planes. These 2 planes were the back drop, of this function. Welcome, Introductions 630 - 700 pm Drinks & Hors d'oeuvres 630 - 730 pm Buffet - style dinner 730 - 900 pm Door prizes and Silent auction 900 - 930 pm Live band "Golden Caddilacs" 730 - 1030 pm Fund raiser for Charitable 501C3 Snehacare for abandoned children with HIV Http://snehacarehome.org Everything was set up accordingly. They had 3 bartenders, making sure everyone drinks were topped off. LOL The band was playing good music, which had a lot of people on the dance floor, including me and van. The buffet style meal was plentiful and delicious. The line for this meal seemed to flow without hiccups. It seemed Venus was in charge of this department. (she works front desk) Job well done I saw Chris (operations manager) running around and making sure things were in place, like extension cords, to make this event happen.. The silent auctions consist of paintings, trip to Mexico, etc... They also had candles for sale. Not sure up this point how this turned out. Augustine, the owner, greeted everyone, making it such a warm welcoming environment. It was nice to see people involved in aviation and being able to meet them first hand. Can't wait till next party hosted by Augustine !!

The Diamond DA50 seemed brand new and was very smooth and fast for a propeller aircraft. They also have a King Air for when we plan a trip with my in-laws. They seem to know the aircraft they fly very well and are certified in the Diamond brand of aircraft, which seems like its very popular these days. We all enjoyed the pilot's decades of experience and friendly demeanor and laid-back style. Affordable and no hassle too! I don't think i will ever drive to central california again!

    I called to find out about flying lessons with Alpine Aviation and spoke to Sandy, and she made it…read moreseem as if I was just wasting my time. I asked about the pricing for their private pilot and other programs, and she didn't even know the ballpark price. If anything, she seemed annoyed that I asked her to find out. She informed me there was a 6-month waiting list in a flabbergasted manner. She could have inspired more confidence in their program but just made it seem as if they were not interested in my business. It has always been my dream to become a pilot. I now have the time to dedicate to this; Alpine was my closest school to home. It's a shame as I am sure they have a good instructor based on the reviews, but I will not be following up with them. I spoke to another flight school in the area near Auburn which was a much friendlier and informative experience. They were excited to tell me about their program and broke everything down for me as I am a beginner. I scheduled my intro flight with them.

    If aviation had a blue-collar hero, it'd be Chris Miller. The guy runs Springfield Flying Service…read morelike a legend who's been single-handedly keeping general aviation alive with a wrench in one hand and a headset in the other. He does so much with so little that you start to wonder if he's secretly sponsored by duct tape and determination. The man could probably teach you to fly using a lawn chair and a leaf blower if he had to. It's not a fancy operation -- no espresso bar, no polished hangar floors -- but what you do get is real-world aviation. You'll learn how to fly, think, and handle anything that comes at you. And you'll laugh a lot doing it. Chris keeps good people around and somehow manages to turn great pilots into even better instructors. That says everything you need to know about the kind of leadership and passion behind this place. If you want to learn from someone who genuinely loves aviation -- and surrounds himself with folks who do too -- Springfield Flying Service is where you start your story.

    We had the absolute best experience on my discovery flight with Brett! From the moment I arrived,…read morehe made me feel completely at ease. Brett has a perfect balance of professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm that instantly shows his passion for aviation and teaching. He explained everything clearly before we got in the plane, walking me through what to expect and answering all my questions with patience and detail. Once in the air, he gave me just the right amount of guidance--making sure I felt safe while also letting me truly take the controls and experience what flying is all about. His calm, encouraging style made the whole flight both exciting and comfortable. What really stood out was how much Brett wanted me to enjoy the experience. He pointed out landmarks, shared tips, and celebrated every little success along the way. By the time we landed, I not only had an unforgettable memory but also a much deeper appreciation for flying. If you're even thinking about trying a discovery flight, do yourself a favor and go with Brett--you won't find a better instructor to make your first flight as fun, safe, and inspiring as possible!

    Mach5 helped me check off my highest bucket list item - to get my private pilots license on…read more4/29/23. Thanks to Mach 5 I was able to get high marks from my FAA examiner. The operation is top notch from the office/operations management, aircraft maintenance, flight logistics and coordination, and instruction. I transferred from another flight school and instantly saw the Mach 5 difference and high standard. I was fortunate to get paired with David Wells who did a perfect job of helping me reach my full potential. I just had fun flying at Mach 5, David, and will continue to fly with Mach5 in the future. KAUN (Auburn Airport) location provides good vibes, valuable flight experience as it is located in the base of the foothills with access to the Sacramento valley, and up front views/access to various aircraft. There is a cafe and two breweries near by. The mechanics are amazing and provide great exposure to maintenance and repair being an open shop right next to the office. This helped with my understanding of the aircraft and its systems. The planes are very well maintained and it is very clear where each plane sits with regards to maintenance and repair. It is clear Mach 5 has the highest standards for instruction. There are numerous layers and checks within the process. I was required to complete thorough flight reviews and marks after each flight which are recorded in my file and reviewed by chief instructors. At various points in the training I had to fly with a chief instructor for sign off to the next stage. This greatly increased my confidence moving forward by having multiple people give you a green light prior to the next step. The way Mach 5 operates, David Wells taught, and all that flying out of Auburn provided made me a very confident and safe pilot as I move forward in my training. Thank you to the team at Mach 5! Special shout out to Matt Behnam as well! Thanks Matt for all the help.
