"The week gave me a solid foundation to expand my skills to planes that now include jets and war birds. I very much recommend Dave Scott and his classes."

Michael Carson. Wausau, WI

"I cannot be more positive about the course. There was no other way for me to advance my skills so quickly. I no longer react to the plane. I anticipate what I want the plane to do. My flying has vastly improved and I am having more fun flying than ever."

Ken Weddell. Fremont, MI

"I honestly cannot think of a way to make your program better. You tailored a program to my specific needs, and I exceeded what I thought I could do. The icing was getting to fly in wind and the confidence that it is not as hard as others make it look."

Robert Delaurentis. San Diego, CA

"I would readily suggest your course to people like myself whose schedules do not permit sustained weekend after weekend flying to build proficiency. The 5 days I spent with you represented several summers worth of regular training."

Jeffrey Steinberg. Chessnut Hill, MA
