I Earned My Private Pilot's License In Two Weeks
"I grew up in Spanish Fork and was always fascinated by anything to do with our little airport. About 25 years ago, as we moved to Texas, I extracted a promise from my then new bride that "if we live in Texas, I get a plane, so I can get away as often as possible." I have renewed that pledge from time to time but never made the time to get my license. Two years ago my wife surprised me at Christmas with a certificate for an introductory flight and ground school. Wow! My dream would finally come true. Just after the end of ground school and with 15 hours logged in the plane, that school closed down. I could not find an instructor that had both the time and the plane in order to complete my private pilot in the required time. About a year passed and I had almost given up when, on a lark, I looked up flight training in my home town of Spanish Fork and found AirGyro. Mike, Jody, Jake and Nate have been great. I blocked out 2 weeks to dedicate to nothing but flying and set a goal to have my checkride completed at the end of that time. Everyone at AirGyro worked very hard to help me achieve my goal. I am convinced that there is no where else that I could have completed my training and had a successful checkride in that short amount of time. I am currently back in Texas, with my new private pilot license, looking for a plane. I can't say enough good about the AirGyro team. Thanks!"
