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!

Our instructor (Shoutout to…read moreWill) did the take off/landing and allowed us to do most of the flying once we were safely in the air. It was an experience to remember!! Will was extremely knowledgeable and wanted to ensure we learned everything about the plane. We examined the plane and went through the preflight check list together (what better way to learn than be part of the process?). Also want to give a huge shout-out to Tim, the owner, who accommodated us for a next day flight! Great interaction with him and his team. Will definitely come again. thank you!!

I wanted to learn from a longtime instructor with experience in a wide variety of aircraft who was willing to share his knowledge. Rich was that person! I believe I learned so much more than the basic requirements. In short, Rich goes into detail about how the airplane works and the particular traits of different makes and models. In my case his explanations helped me become confident and comfortable in the cockpit. Sussex Airport is also a nice place to train because it is an active field but not hectic. I continue to fly regularly in the Aviation Club's rental aircraft and am training with Rich for endorsements in complex and high-performance models. J. Welsh

I asked if we could come by so we can ask questions - I was told we should read the information online. I explained that this is new to us and it's nice to speak to someone in person - I was told then ask on the phone. I asked if we can come in tomorrow and may I have your name - the gentle man refused to give me his name. This is very disappointing and discouraging - we will take our business elsewhere.

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.

I also want to use this space to point out that while adjacent to it, Ellenville Flight Park is not affiliated in any way with the Mountain Wings hang gliding school.
