Private Scenic Air Tour Over Oahu

I had a wonderful experience at Barbers Point Flight School. I am a 41-year old career changer with a childhood dream to become a pilot one day. I was on the waitlist at BPFS for awhile and it was my first pick in a flight school since I grew up here. Before almost pulling the trigger on a program in Florida, I got a call from Ricky at BPFS that a spot just opened up in late January to start that Monday. Ricky is an awesome instructor and knows the islands like the back of his hand. Super knowledgeable, experienced, and held me at a high standard throughout my training for the PPL. I had the privilege of flying with a couple other instructors as well since I was training at an accelerated pace. Everyone was excellent and very professional. I felt safe at all times and they have an immaculate safety record. BPFS does progressive maintenance checks on their planes every 50 hours instead of the FAA 100-hour minimum and they have their own maintenance team. Everyone at the school was friendly and helped to foster a nice aviation community. As the only flight school at JRF Barbers Point, it was easy to find a place in the pattern at any given time which I felt was a huge advantage in flight training. Big shoutout to Mikey, Jared, Blake, Kai, Peter, Stone, Clarence, Christine, Anuhea, Troy, DPE John and especially my instructor Ricky who was always encouraging, patient, and making sure I became a safe pilot! Mahalo you guys!!
