“While pursuing my Private Pilot Certificate, I tried out three different flight schools that either closed their doors for good or weren’t the right fit. LEFA was one of the few schools that could honestly stand by their GI Bill® program. Their instructors accelerated my training and helped me achieve my CFII in 9 months.
Finding a good flight school is hard! I’ve talked to so many students recently who have been failed by poorly operated schools that don’t hold up their promises.
After completing my flight training and instructing at LEFA, I got the opportunity to fly tours in EC 130s and AS 350s in the Grand Canyon. Those experiences prepared me for the 2020 fire season, where I went on to fight fire in Central Oregon.
Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to fly a variety of utility work, to include Alaska Heli-Ski and Power Line Construction. Attending Leading Edge Flight Academy built my foundation and provided me with the tools that I use on a daily basis to fly safely in challenging environments.”
