The 10 Best Flight Schools near San Francisco, California

Here is a review from an user.

I have been taking lessons with Keston and Garrett at Mountain Lion for 7 months, with over hours in the air + ground school time. They are extremally knowledgeable and great pilots. They also know how to teach those skills and in a manner that makes it stick. I come from a world of Skydiving (seen a lot) and have complete trust in them. It's an added bonus they are also great people and a true pleasure to hang out with. Blue Skies!

I shopped around for a helicopter school and Sierra was the perfect fit. Auburn is the perfect place for a student to learn and get beautiful views at the same time. Every time I show up for a lesson I am greeted with smiles and positivity. I have flown with multiple CFIs and each are very knowledgeable and competent pilots. I learn so much from them every time I fly. I know I will be well prepared for my check ride.

We had a blast flying the Bamboo Bomber - a very authentic, atmospheric and surprisingly smooth and comfortable classic warbird! Andy is a master pilot and a super nice guy and the experience is one you’ll remember for a lifetime. Looking forward to coming back for an aerobatic flight on the open cockpit NSN-3. Highly recommended!

Learning to fly at years old took courage. My teacher Steve Bazor gives me the confidence I need to soar into the wild blue yonder. Can't wait until my next lesson.

Sue has been a fantastic instructor working with me for the better part of two years. Her knowledge and skills are impressive and she is able to impart them effectively as well. The training made me a better and safer pilot and I would highly recommend Sue to anyone looking to fly.

All the instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this flight school for anyone who wants to begin their aviation career or just for fun. Taking the introductory flight, you just might love it and you'll see the best views Central Coast has to offer.

I deal with a lot of florists for work and this was one of my best interactions ever - and I am extremely picky! She had amazing suggestions, the quality of the flowers was incredible and unique. Better than anything you would get from a standard online order. Prompt in responding and so personable. She really worked with me to make sure the arrangement was exactly what I wanted. She even sent me a video and photos to make sure I knew what it looked like. Everyone who saw the arrangement used the word "stunning". I rarely write reviews, but this level of service deserved 5 stars for sure.

Top of the line training. Instructor is very hands on and very personable. I have done quite a few lessons and I can say they are very professional with there work and value creating future pilots. And another great thing is they have the best prices that are not beatable with the one on one time I was provided to make me the best pilot I could possibly be. / recommend flying with them to be the next future pilot.

great experience flying
