    This is July 7, 2025 and I went to Oakdale Municipal Airport a few days ago. I'm shocked. It looked…read morelike Golden Wings closed their facility. There were no aircraft behind it where they usually stored their 'training aircraft'. Their back door was usually open during business hours but it appeared to be closed. Their big sign in front was gone. For all intents and purposes they appeared closed for good. I saw 2 of their 'training aircraft' out on the Ramp, tied down, dirty, and appeared to be derelict aircraft, now. Sad. I was hoping they would stay and be a successful training facility. But alas, it appears that they failed and closed their facility. Does anyone else get the same impression, or have more information? When I tried to call them the phone automatically disconnected. After 4 attempts it became fairly obvious that their land-line is permanently disconnected.

    Had an awesome discovery flight with Adam in The Red Coffin. My wife was a little bit scared in…read morethe back seat, but she's good Now. He told me about BasicMed, so I might be able to start flying again. Hope I can pass it. They have a very cool office and their 172 was priceless. Last time I flew something like that was in 1996 with Chuck Yeager (was a DC-3). I'm currently trying to renew my medical certificate, and when I do, I would love to fly with them. This company is real, and they will teach you how to fly anything! You don't get that from schools that make you use "technology" to teach real flying. Thank you Golden Wings!!!

    I've been a student pilot here for my private license since June. This is a well run organization…read morefilled with instructors who are passionate about aviation. The planes are relatively new, from early 2000 to 2010, and are well kept to ensure safety. For example, once I was doing pre-flight and noticed that there was a bit of white tread showing, and the plane was grounded to swap a new tire. The good: - Newer & safe planes - Solid Instructors (on the most part) - Informative ground class - Strict knowledge verification The bad - More expensive than other schools - Busy schedule (need to book flights at least a week in advanced) Personally I've been switched to my 3rd instructor since the first 2 went on to airlines. This had a bit of delay in my training and the fact only a few instructors are authorized to do phase checks and they mostly work during weekdays.

    This school is unethical. One of their customers rented their airplane and died, after trying to…read morecontrol the uncontrollable airplane for nearly 3 hours. The first thing the school did was try to shed any blame off themselves by suggesting/speculating intentional pilot actions. Their airplane that crashed, N5203H, was also previously totalled in 2016 but they kept flying it anyways. If you love life and care about your loved ones, I'd avoid this school. There are plenty of other schools that won't turn their back on you if you have an accident.
