I just got my private pilot license with WMFA just last Monday. I had Keith as my CFI and he is an amazing instructor. Keith is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of experience but most importantly he is very good at teaching. Keith has a lot of patience and is very friendly as well as fun. I learned a lot from him and his ground training prepared me very well for my check-ride!

This is a great flight school that is only 15 minutes north of Grand Rapids at the Sparta Airport! I learned in N6520W, a Piper Cherokee 140 that is a solid plane and I was able to achieve my Private Pilot's license. I highly recommend them!

My son and I are taking our first steps towards our private pilots license together. We're glad this is was the place.

Patrick and his staff are professional and great at sharing their very real passion for aviation while striving to make it accessible.

Our instructor, Austin Brumfield is phenomenal. We felt confident with him immediately.

The airplanes appear in great shape.
We were in a PA-28-140.

I'm glad...
