This is the worst flying school in the entire world.

My friend and I came all the way from Denmark to take the pilot training here. When we showed up, we where met by two angry secretaries and a very weird smell. It seemed like they had no idea that we where coming and we got absolutely no help to figure any thing out.

The aircrafts looked very old and definitely not like anything you would ever feel safe in. The classrooms where dirty and we later found out that the weird smell came because they where feeding a lot of cats inside the building. There where cat hair and dust all over the place.

Later we got invited over to some of the other students house where they told us not to go to this school. Many of them had lost a great amount of money and all of them have had very bad experiences with the school. We decided to start with the private pilot license and see if we wanted to continue after that with the rest of the course/education/program. The next day we went to the owner of the school, Richard, to tell him the plan and that we would start with the PPL only.

He got very mad, sent us out of the school and terminated us (took our visas so we had to go home to DK) plus he kept the 1000 dollars that we each had payed in deposit to start on the school.

Here we where standing, two young guys with their dream of becoming a commercial pilot broken, no place to go and we had used a lot of money to travel to the states and put a lot of time into everything.

Now I am a military pilot and it has been 4-5 years since my experience with them, but I would think twice before going to this school, I mean it was Naples Air Center who also trained the 09/11 guys.
