    Such a good experience! 100% better than I expected. Our pilot Regie was awesome, super friendly and professional. Seeing LA from the top is unreal!!

    Hubby with instructor Jorge for the flight experience! Two thumbs up!

    Took my husband here for fathers day and had an absolutely amazing experience with US Aviators! Purchased their flight experience with simulator. Highly recommend instructor Jorge -- very patient, knowledgable & upbeat and that made the experience all the more worthwhile & memorable...even let my hubby control the plane for a bit too! Sooo worth it & an experience to never forget! Will be back with our kids!

    What better way to see LA than from above? George gave us an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend using this company. Tip: pay the extra fee for an additional 30 minutes of flight time... you won't regret it!

    Super sweet experience! I got the groupon for a friend of mine for his birthday and we had a BLAST! Jorge was out pilot instructor and he was super knowledgeable, patient, and professional! We were running late(which I don't recommend) and he worked with us as much as he could! I got the 30min extra to fly over Hollywood sign and Santa Monica and that was so worth it. Although it was a gloomy day the views were still gorgeous! I would for sure give it a 5 star if they were better at answering the phone. They don't typically answer the calls, it goes to voicemail. They do call back but sometimes not within the same day and it was a bit of a hassle. Other than that great experience!

    US Aviators was fantastic! My instructor Jorge was the greatest. I took my youngest daughter Tiffany with me and we both had such a blast. After we landed my daughter, who had a smile on her face the whole time, said: "Dad we need to get one of these". I would definitely recommend US Aviators. Everybody from Jorge, Amelia, and Guillermo we're so nice and helpful. I'm looking forward to my next lesson.

    So I purchased a deal and decided to take a friend. Prior to flight. I'm thinking I hope my instructor isn't one of those that took shortcuts and slacked off in the process getting his license. You know there are A, B and C students. I was like," please let mine be an A student." Lol We did our instruction video to learn the basics and the instructor somewhat quizzed me to see of I understood. (Trust me, I was listening) We start the plane and take off. I'm saying man this this is sure rocking a lot, not like Delta airlines. I must say he was a professional and in the end he let me take over. I was on cloud 9, literally. Felt good. I lined it up for landing and he took over. What a great experience. Would definitely do it again.

    Here we go!

    My husband bought a Groupon for a flight lesson as my Mother's Day gift (it's been on my bucket list for awhile). Today I flew an airplane for the first time and it was incredible! I did not pay attention to the time so I'm not sure exactly how much time I spent at each task, but my instructor Amelia was wonderful, very friendly and calm. I watched a few videos which we briefly discussed, then I tried the simulator (more of a video game than anything else), then it was time to head out to the plane. She performed all her pre-check items and we took a few photos before heading out. I got the opportunity to steer with my feet while we were on the ground, which was very different. Once we were lined up I was the one who got to take the plan up into the air, it was an AMAZING feeling to take off and know it was on me (yes, I was praying at the time). We did a little tour of the valley (we could have upgraded to visiting Santa Monica for another $100), two 180 degree turns, and since our house is on the approach path we got to see it from above. I would HIGHLY recommend this school and Amelia to anyone who is interested in learning to fly or just a unique life experience. Huge thanks to Amelia for helping me to check another item off of my bucket list. I wanted to address the phone call issue I see in other reviews... when my husband was trying to book this flight lesson it was a little difficult to get a hold of someone, but other than the initial issues, it was great.

    I recently add my multi engine commercial instrument to my ticket and I am blessed to have done so with the great instruction at U.S. Aviators. The staff at U.S. Aviators is beyond compare and the fact is that, if you want real world critical engine experience and training, then the conventional Piper Twin Comanche is the best way to go. One can really feel what will happen to you at Vmc when the left side engine is brought back to idle or shut down completely. Moreover, flying the Twin Comanche puts the fun back into aviation and flying. Reasonably priced and economical for the Southern California and surrounding areas, to include Arizona and Nevada, the only places cheaper are out in the mid-west, making U.S. Aviators, a no brainer. If you are interested in adding a new rating or a primary certificate, then give them a call. You will be glad you did.

    My son and I flying. Wes loves it!

    I've been flying with them since 2014 and have had a few instructors. Guillermo the owner is a master pilot and instructor. I've done my three solo landings, my cross country, Instruments, foogle work and 10 hours of night flying. Now to do my written test and finally get this pilots license. Been neglecting flying due to work but I'm getting back into it shortly. I love this place very patient insructers and terrific well maintained planes. I feel very safe with this school.

    My husband bought this as a gift to me, and it was such a treat! I think all of the anticipation got the better of me and I didn't fly the plane much. But, my instructor, Kevin, was very nice and patient. The turbulence in the valley area was pretty intense, but Kevin explained what was happening. My husband accompanied me and now wants to try flying with me as the passenger. We will be requesting Kevin when we return!

    John the dopest instructor

    First time flying, and I feel like I am somewhat a student of aviation, my instructor John ( who I totally recommend to request for) explained in detail about the plane and the functions around it. He gave a good vibe/tone towards the lesson so you feel comfortable. The simulation is a good tool to get you set up for the real deal. I felt as if we had the best time to fly due to the fact that we flew during sunset hour. What an experience!! JUST GO TRY IT OUT, the place is the perfect place.

    Fun flight over Malibu.

    I've called several timesand emailed them for an appointment. No answer. How did you all book with them?

    Leave a message and they will return it. I called a few times and always got a recording. Finally left a message and they returned it within a few days.

    I purchased a 90 min flight (with lesson...) and calling to make an appointment but no one is answering, is there a different phone number? I left voice message as well, however no one contacted me back. Someone also experienced the same?

    Me too :/

The folks there were so nice and patient with us and answered all our questions which gave us peace of mind, knowing that our child would be in good hands up in the air. We are really pleased with our instructor, Zach, who is just amazing. My daughter loves being taught by him because he is easy-going and very thorough & patient with his teaching.

Parking: Parking was free and is located directly in front of the hangar this was not a issue at all. Facilities: Waiting area has a clean bathroom, Mini Arcade :) tons of cool stuff to see. Offered us water. People: Mason - Flight instructor - My son could not stop talking about how great Mason was. He really explained everything to him before and while on the flight. My son was able to both fly and do a callout while in the air. If he was at all afraid mason put him at ease you rock!

I immediately felt that she hated me. she said that I needed to wear a wedding ring, because because of my attractive appearance, I could lose my job. then she got drunk when we opened wine and champagne and brought alcohol to training in the pool. when I needed to clarify something or repeat it, she brushed me off and ignored me. she put on a show in class and lifted her legs above her head, showing off her incredible gymnastic abilities. She probably didn't like me because I didn't express any obvious ADMIRATION for her tricks and old-fashioned ways of sculpting roses from sausage and avocado.

It's good that there were mattresses on the ground for insurance. she herself did not jump first. after that I was afraid to jump, and asked if I could just sit down and slid down.
