    DANGER WARNING: SERIOUS SAFETY & ETHICS CONCERNS…read more THEY KEEP TRYING TO BURY THIS REVIEW SO REPOSTING. Specifically: - POOR AIRCRAFT CONDITIONS - INEXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS - UNETHICAL BUSINESS In April, Blue River confirmed my request that my dog can fly with me as I qualify for my PPL (see attached) so I moved up to Palmer, AK from TX and setup near the airport to start intense training in June. I showed up on June 15 for my first day of training, and it's been a disturbing experience. As a brief summary: POOR AIRCRAFT CONDITIONS - I observed missing exterior screws / bolts, large dent in flap, bent aileron and non-functional shoulder / seat belts on N4714F. This plane was available to students to fly. This is being reported to the FAA. INEXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS - My assigned instructor, LILIAN, indicated she was from TN and only 1 month into flying in AK, and she seemed to have a mini panic attack about flying with a dog. UNETHICAL BUSINESS - Now that I'm here, Blue River is saying my dog cannot fly with me (see attached). They also charged me for June 15 even though the instructor, Lilian, was too nervous to fly. I have left 2 messages with the front office staff for the owner, JAMIE, to try and resolve things but no return call. I have now wasted over a month and several thousand dollars coming to Blue River, and they are entirely avoiding returning call or addressing any of the issues. BLUE RIVER IS SIMPLY A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. Be Safe Out There.

    Fantastic day! Very easy to book and great pilot named Hans. He toured us all around many glaciers…read moreand explained everything to us. I highly recommend this company if you are visiting Alaska or are an Alaskan looking for a day trip adventure!

    Very professional and customer focused!…read more I am a Flight Instructor from Texas who was in town on business and looking for a lesson on Alaskan winter / mountain flying. They accommodated me with very little notice. Naomi at the front desk was wonderful and so very efficient. It was the first week of March and the entire city was iced over from the hard and very snowy winter, plus there had just been two solid days of snow. So I had no idea if we could fly at all, even though the skies were clear and beautiful. (Density Altitude was -3800 feet BTW. That's right, negative 3800.) My instructor, Kelvin W., was great - which is particularly impressive since he was half my age and much less experienced. They are obviously doing instruction the way it should be done there at Angel Aviation. The Anchorage airspace is very complex due to Anchorage International to the west and Elmendorf Air Force Base on the east side of Merrill Field. Combined with snow and ice covered taxiways and tarmacs, Kelvin guided me through the delicate business of winter flying and even doing touch and goes on a runway that was completely covered in snow and ice. Meanwhile, he was relaxed, personable, and knowledgeable with a focus on safety. Truly everything you would want in a Flight Instructor. My time with him was worth a lot more than I paid and I am grateful for it! Thank you Angel Aviation and Kelvin!

    After having started training for my PPL at a different flight school in Arizona, I was ready to…read morethrow in the towel since having received 5 months of poor training and no vested interest shown in my success. I was recommended Angel Aviation by many different people and, upon my initial meeting with Angel management, felt that they cared about my success. I have continued to feel supported by their instructors and staff through PPL and IR. I have flown out of both their Glendale and Anchorage locations; the planes located at both are well maintained and readily available. I would recommend Angel Aviation to anyone at any point in their flight training journey.
