Stick & Rudder delivers low hourly rates without cutting corners. The planes are well-maintained, clean, and clearly cared for -- not worn-out trainers. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The instructors and members genuinely want you to succeed. Whether you're a brand-new student pilot or building time, there's a culture of support here that you just don't find everywhere. Affordable. Well-run. Safe. Friendly. Hard to beat that combination.

You would be doing yourself a disservice by paying the premium rates it demands for instruction that is often mediocre at best, from junior instructors who seem to only be interested in getting to the 1500 hour mark. You can get very experienced, Gold Seal instructors who have been doing this for many years and are only interested in your development as a pilot, for much less. Focus is often primarily on flying and inadequate time spent on ground and reviews. Some programs lack a syllabus entirely, if you are one who looks for red flags. There is a very deep sense of apathy among its staff. The scheduling is often chaotic (timeslots not respected, or you may show up to the airport and they'll tell you that the aircraft is actually in maintenance or somewhere else) and staff behavior unprofessional. You may schedule a flight worth thousands, weeks in advance, to only find out a few days before the flight that someone changed the times or even cancelled it without even letting you know.

A truly sentimental place as the airport is located right behind my grandparents' home. I am forever grateful to Katy and her husband Kurt for this most special of my lifetime events. There is no better flight instructor than Katy Crihfield. We thank Katy for her service as a Naval pilot. In addition to flight instruction, she is also a master teacher of physics. It was so great to also meet Katy's two dogs, Olivia and Fiona, as we are all animal lovers too! This marks the beginning of learning with K2 Aviation, LLC and to many more safe and wonderful flights! A special video presentation will be aired in the coming days. I hope you will all enjoy the flight! Thank you Katy and Kurt! ~ Kyle O'Malley

I reached out to them from Michigan to surprise my son who lives in Illinois. Mike, in particular, was so helpful in explaining what the flying experience would be like and advised me on how to book the time and purchasing options that were available. He asked several questions about my son so as to taylor the right flight expereince for him. He didn't just book the flight and take my credit card information. My call to him wasn't about the money, it was about how we could together provide the best birthday present for my son. He helped me with scheduling and explained the different options available to me when purchasing the flight package. Josh is still raving about his experience, and plans to schedule another flight as soon as he can. His instructor was friendly and took the time to explain the cockpit and the controls. I recommend this wonderful business to people of all ages who want a unique, peronalized adventure in the skies. This will be a gift to yourself or another that you will never forget. It makes a very special gift and a wonderful memory that will last well beyond the flight time. Take the time to go to their website, read about the adventure and call. It might be one of the nicest and best calls you have ever made for yourself or someone that you love. Carol Lipsitt
