"I recently got my pilot’s license in Santa Monica in a Sport Cruiser, so I needed to be checked out in a 172. Matt is always cool and eager to help schedule anything I need.

I am a loyal and..." Read more

"This is by far the best flight school in SoCal. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and very skilled. I have gotten all my ratings here and I am now working on my CFI and it has been a great experience since the day I started flying here. They actually keep the planes in great condition unlike some other flight schools at SNA. They have great prices o..." Read more

The instructors are really engaged and make the learning experience fun. If your a student, you will be taught the "right" and safe way. I finished my Private several ye..." Read more

"Great atmosphere and friendly helpful instructors. I followed the instructions given to me and took off on an introductory flight. I felt confident in the school and the aircraft while taking my first flight. I have only taken one demo flight so far at this school, and I am not a pilot. That being said, as a newcomer I would happily walk in to OCFC any day..." Read more

"First flight in a Cessna 172sp. Was very fun and exciting. Was able to bring along a second person with the instructor. We flew to Dana point and through Irvine over the toll roads and back to John Wayne airport. My instructor Graeme was very patient and very thorough. He let me take full control of the plane at times and helped me understand what I was doin..." Read more
