I was taking someone, for the first time ever, to fly in a helicopter . She was so nervous, Matt calmed her with his experience, safety instructions and overall professionalism. I have to say I've flown over active volcanos, off cruise ships and now over Cincy . You'll love this experience, I HIGHLY recommend

Pretty meh, gotta say. For as interesting and historic as Lunken Airport is, this flight school…read moreleft a lot to be desired when I gave it a look recently. Well-worn (and pricey) Pipers -- and a lone 50's-vintage 172 which Dennis, the Director of Training I met with, said he "didn't like students to use because the radios are finicky" -- and just no energy to the place at all (no instructors and students coming and going, no ground lessons in progress, no airplanes being preflighted, etc.) The final disappointing straw in my evaluation of Flamingo came when, while looking over the training Pipers with Dennis, he outright lied to me when he said with great authority that employers prefer low-wing flight time over high-wing flight time in a pilot's logbook when considering them for a job. Asking several professional pilots I work with sadly confirmed what I already knew to be true: shameless BS sales job. Not cool. I hang out at Lunken Airport (KLUK) quite a bit being the aviation junkie that I am, and even during the warm months there never seems to be much happening at this operation, at least with regard to flight instruction. I know they teach an Aircraft Dispatcher course, and also offer training in Drone operation/repair, so maybe flight training is just supplemental to their main business focus. Either way, I went elsewhere with my training needs (and $10k).

I began my instrument flight training with another school and came to Sportys to finish up. I can…read morenot say enough about how positive my experience was with this school. From my initial contact with David Zitt, who called me back on the same day I left him a message, to the instructor assigned to me, Dan, to the ease of scheduling (basically they did it all). All I had to do was study and fly! When the time for my checking approached along with bad weather the school and the examiner went above and beyond making sure that the oral and flight portions of the test were scheduled around any obstacles! I will certainly use them again if I ever add the commercial rating. Thank you all for the positive experience, Steve Haines

Booked a city tour with Stratus and was left extremely pleased! The only issue I had was my…read morereservation was made for 6:30pm and we arrived early like the email had stated, the couple before us had arrived late so we ended up having to wait about 45 minutes because of them. They did a great job of keeping us comfortable while we waited though, even allowed us into the hangar where they keep the planes to take a peek at the awesomeness they had! The tour was quick but the pilot was really good about telling us what we were looking at and answering questions we had. All in all, was a great experience and would definitely recommend again!

Tony was our pilot and we were also assisted by Collin. The whole experience was outstanding from calling to book the reservation to the flight itself. The waiting area is beautifully decorated and calming. The guys were easy to talk to and put everyone at ease. Collin Drive is out to the Robinson on a golf cart and reviewed the safety procedures, then took pictures of us that he later sent us. We took the park tour and it was amazing. Since it was my boyfriends first time he sat up front with the pilot. Tony pointed out all the amazing lAndmarks and gave us a lot of history. BF said he never even thought to be nervous which is amazing (we rode in a no-plane once, different story lol) We stayed in Cincinnati and later saw the helicopter giving other tours so that was pretty cool too! I definitely recommend this company for any air your needs!
