I've had the pleasure of being a student at Freeflight Aviation for several years, and I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. From day one, the school has exemplified professionalism, dedication, and a genuine passion for aviation education. The owner takes a personal interest in every student's journey--whether you're just starting out or preparing for a checkride. That kind of commitment is rare and deeply appreciated. The availability of aircraft, even for checkrides and last-minute scheduling needs, has been consistently reliable and well-facilitated. What truly sets Freeflight apart is its team of instructors. The diversity and depth of experience among the CFIs is remarkable. You'll find seasoned professionals with commercial flying backgrounds, instructors with military experience from nearby McGuire, and enthusiastic younger CFIs who bring energy and fresh perspectives to the training environment. Each instructor brings something unique to the table, but all share a commitment to safety, clarity, and helping students succeed. Completing my Private Pilot License at Freeflight Aviation has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am incredibly grateful to be part of this aviation community and highly recommend this school to anyone serious about learning to fly. read more

Freeflight is a great place to start your journey into the skies, They have instructors that fit you and don't push you on any instructor. The choice is yours to make, so chose carefully. Try out their introductory flight where after a short one on one with a instructor you walk out get in your plane. After a quick preflight inspection the excitement really builds as you get into the PILOTS SEAT. Once you get seatbelted in and the checklist is in your hand and all the items get checked off it is time for the engine to roar to life. Off you taxi to the runway stopping for a run-up check . Now it is time to fly and you are at the controls you spend most of the flight at the controls getting a feel for the plane, Once you land you get a logbook with your time logged in and signed by your instructor. I guarantee you will cherish this experience the rest of your life. Barbara and Frank are always glad to answer any question you might have and can usually be found around the airport. read more

Was hooked up with Freeflight Aviation through a gift given to me by my children for Christmas from Cloud 9 Experience. Back in the '70s, I had the intention of going for my private pilot's license, and had a friend and classmate who was an instructor. Took the ground courses, but could never afford proper flight lessons so I gave up the dream. My flight lesson with Freeflight was a wonderful trip down memory lane, and an incredible experience. There is a nice laid-back vibe to the airport and its in a very scenic location. I highly recommend it to anyone, and urge you to consider giving the gift of flight to someone in your life who once had "the dream" but never quite got there for one reason or another. read more

For my Cessna 210, they did a removal and re-install overhauled engine, installed a JPI 900 analyzer to replace the steam gauges, installed a Tannis heater, plus miscellaneous shop items, AND an annual inspection for $6600-labor in 7.5 chargable work days!! It spent a little over 2 weeks in the shop. Wow Yes I'm a regular customer and I have two Cessna's they maintain. Excellent track/documentation with logs. And very pleasant and respectful attitude toward aircraft owners. They look around for best deals on parts. I saved $900+ on having McFarlane make up a new cable rather than purchase the Cessna cable on their advice. They fix stuff and often have given me free consulting advice for minor squawks. read more

Have flown all over the planet and this is my home sweet home flying club. The aircraft are maintained properly, the SOPs are clear, the prices are truly the last bastion of reasonable in the northeast, there's a culture of safety and respect for the aircraft among members. The depth and breadth of knowledge among the staff is outstanding. I can't say enough about their customer service too- Barbara and Frank have been fair, professional, kind; they run their business with integrity. I have had nightmare experiences with other clubs and flight schools. Not here. I wholeheartedly recommend Freeflight Aviation! read more

This is a great operation. Great place to learn to fly, rent airplanes, and maintain your own airplane. After 30-year hiatus from GA, Bob McCabe checked me out in 172 this past winter -- great experience. Then bought my own plane in spring. Franks's guidance was, and continues to be, priceless. Steve and John in maintenance shop are awesome guys -- phenomenal customer service and quality. Everyone is approachable and willing to help -- as if I had known them for years. I wouldn't go anywhere else -- whether you are looking to learn how to fly or for someone to maintain and work on your airplane. read more

Gene, the instructor, is a fantastic, enthusiastic flyer and instructor. And it shows. After introductions, Gene gave a great overview of the instruments, aerodynamics, and the general procedures. At the plane he thoroughly guided me through the pre-flight check and procedures. All through the introduction, the pre-flight, the flight, and the post-flight Gene kept the pace of instruction and guidance moving at the perfect pace - not too slow, nor too quick. I would recommend flying with Gene. read more

I have used Freeflight Aviation for several years and have unqualified regard for the service and personnel at Freeflight. I had received flight instruction and rented different different planes before buying my own plane. Not knowing what type of plane to buy, I have to thank Frank for his recommendation to buy a Cessna 182. I had that plane for several years before having to sell it. If I could start flying again it would certainly be with Freeflight. Joe Walunas read more

I highly recommend Freeflight to anyone interested in flying Jorden Brown read more

The Flying W is a great airport in a beautiful location with a nice little café that serves you good food while you watch the airplanes land and take-off.

Excellent school and airplanes. I earned my private, instrument, and commercial here at the part 61 school and highly recommend freeflight to anybody looking to get involved in aviation. I would highly recommend this over a part 141 school. The instructors can also tailor to your schedule. The optional online webinars, ground instruction, and flight lessons all made me into the pilot I am today. read more

I am not tied down at the Flying "W" (N14) but I have been involved with Frank, General Aviation and owning an aircraft for several decades. But every once in a while I get involved in a situation where I need help with the FAR's and other. Frank and his wife has volunteered to helped me without question or compensation. Many thanks to both. Bill Deguenther N4845U and soon to be N1879F read more

My son-in-law uses Freeflight Aviation for lessons and plane rentals. When it comes time for birthday or Christmas gifts, I like to give him a gift certificate so that he can use it when it's convenient for him. Purchasing a gift certificate is fast and easy. They even send me a certificate to give him for his gift. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase gift certificates from you. read more

This was a gift from my sons. All I needed was a little push to learn to fly. This was perfect! Joe, my instructor, was knowledgeable and patient. Flying W Airport was better than I expected. Very classy and clean, with a cool pool in the shape of a plane. And my expectations were high. I will be continuing my lessons in the near future. Thank you for a great experience!!!! read more
