Amazing experience! Quincy was super friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw some really cool views and got to fly the plane near the Golden Gate Bridge too! Loved the amazing piano by Quincy as well at the end.

Very understanding and flexible flying school. The flight instructors are the best, well maintained and documented aircrafts. I am thankful and blessed for choosing them as partners for my pilot career.

This is the first School I visited on my month long journey to find a flight School. I traveled to all parts of the bay area, visited 3+ different schools at each airport and made it back to Flying Vikings! Glad I did so! To me it had such a homie feel to it. I am a Schedule Nut Case and like my day, weeks, months, planed out. Here at FV they were more than able to work with my schedule! Mr. Alex, he is the best! No need for details but he is there to train you for flying and goes over the top for Safety! Which all of us PPL holder's know how much that means. Yes the planes are basic gauges but thats all you need to get all the licenses you wish to acquire. Best way to learn is from the basics! So my main reasoning to join Flying Vikings are, they work with your schedule, their instructor's are they to TRAIN you, and to top it off you can work all the steps untill the final Comercial pilot license. Happy ✈ flights

This review is for Mats, the chief pilot & instructor at Flying Vikings. Did about 1/2 of my flight training here with Mats, and glad I did. I've had 4 instructors over the years and 2 of them were just plain bad... which apparently is quite common. Those bad instructors were sour, rude, and demeaning to me as a student pilot. Mats was the opposite. He's patient, nice, and accommodating. When I don't get it the first time he'll help me learn at my own pace without making me stress about those failures or mistakes. Regarding Flying Vikings — the planes are not the newest but are well maintained... and the booking system is paper, not online. If you want the newest planes and the latest G1000s though, go down the street and pay 30% more per hour.

I had an awesome time today with James the flight instructor. After an hour of pre-flight weather-checking, map-checking, and landing-simulating, we took off for a trip around the east bay. Actually flying the plane was amazing - I'd played with flight simulators as a kid, but they don't prepare you for the visceral experience of actually being in the air controlling the plane. James the flight instructor was awesome overall. Laid-back, patient in answering my hundreds of questions, and clearly knows his stuff. A truly exhilarating experience!
