I was gifted an intro to flight class through Virgin Experience Gifts, and Classic Air is the…read morevendor they connected me with. I had an absolute blast. A huge shout out to my CFI, Cal, who was awesome. He was very friendly and patient. Despite it being a basic intro course, his chill vibe made it an enjoyable experience. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone interested in aviation. The Apache Junction reservoir and the Superstition range at 5k feet sure is a pretty sight. Thanks, Cal and thank you Classic Air Aviation!

So, at KFFZ many years, nice Redbird and a descent fleet. But, now nearly a whole year, nada. And…read morethey don't reply to emails I have sent about 7 in the past 10 months. Apparently they are 'going to be' at KCHD...but after the 'summer' was 9/21/2024...Now a month later, their site has that message...their sim and planes I am guessing are at KCHD now..but I am guessing. I have wanted to do a training recurrency event with them...they'd be a good fit for my recency. otherthan Classic..in the entire valley NOW...zero. The valley isn't the 10+ years ago place and is 100% ANTI general aviation...it's a 'monetize' every human...place..A person wanting a 'fair' and quality IPC and FR...in a sim and then a finish up in a twin..with 3 landings...to get 'fresh' is out of luck unless that person although extremely proficient and competent...will not maybe will be charged 7x the real net cost..via "we only always do it that way" which means a IPC and FR and 3 landings will cost ya 400% because "that is how I do it"..IN Denver or Seattle or Van Nuys or Houston or Dallas, REAL metros that LOVE and protect G.A. pilots..you can have a choice of FTD's for a full IPC or a array of schools with a quality AATD and a nice twin...in a week I'd have 4 of those...not true in the Phoenix metro...it was long long ago. Even ERAU at KPRC and ASU at KIWA and UND at KIWA ..."gee man we USED to let folks fly our FTD x2 and have their IPC we won't now..only our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ program customers TOUCH our sims." so now if you live in this area...lots of luck get re-ready for resumes out...Not happening with quality and time frame...and Twins in this area are marginally maintained or charged rates that are SAME as Van Nuys or Denver..so much for Valley of the Sun low costs of living. where a CHD studio apt. unf. is $1700 + electric per month.

Best prices you will find, they always match for me if I find it cheaper…read more Great service, always help me find the right part number and upfront about the parts. Even if I don't have a part number they always help me look it up!

NOT worth dealing with. Had a part I needed replaced and called them. They had a couple in stock…read morebut they told me the part number I had was superceeded by the one they had. I said OK, I only had the one in my hand so I'll go with what they had. Received the part and it was similar, but not the same (Different releif valve receivers). Called them back and said the one they sent me was different and needed the right one. They said I would have to pay the shipping both ways. I asked why I would need to pay shipping AGAIN when they sent the wrong part. They said it must have been my fault and I must have given them the wrong part number. After they basically told me it was my problem, I told them i'd send it back for refund. Blaming your customer is sure sign of poor customer support. Dont say I didnt warn you.

I had to limp my airplane over to the ramp…read more The guys at Ascent helped me to tow my plane to a parking spot, and not just that, they also helped me the next day with a pin I needed to secure the wheel in place. They never asked for anything, they were more that willing and happy to help. Thank you so much guys.

I have had Michael Fox work on my plane. He is a nice guy, fair prices. He Knows what he is doing…read moreaswell. I flew his 172 planes too and he has injected rebuilt engines.
