Testimonials
Rick Kufta (09/2007) Lisa and Rex... I have spent a considerable amount of my time and money with your organization, and there are several reasons that I plan on continuing to do so. One of the major ones is that I am most comfortable with Jack's style of instruction. I could see where some students would be more receptive to a younger instructor, or a more structured one; I happen to treasure the incredible wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as a real love of flying, that Jack brings to your organization. Joshua Giordano (09/2007) Thank you for providing this opportunity so that I may express my satisfaction with RexAir. I was impressed day one when I was greeted by you and your father on my first day of flying. I like the idea that I can speak with Rex at anytime and know that he is there to listen and provide instruction too. You have always been helpful and answer any questions I may have promptly. I have never felt like I needed to hesitate to ask a question, to any employees of RexAir, in fear that I would feel stupid. I think this is a very important point. Joe Monaldi is an excellent instructor. Joe is clear, precise, respectful, knowledgeable, and understanding of my strengths and weaknesses in the aircraft. I would like for you to know that he is very respectful of your equipment and facility. I look forward to every lesson with Joe and feel very good with my progress. Your service personnel are also friendly and easy to talk with. John Barlow (02/19/07) Hi Lisa, I want you to know how much I enjoy learning how to fly. You, Rex, Jack and Ed are a great team. I really like your new facility. It's convenient and is much better for getting to the plane than your previous location. Thanks again. Randall Keny (07/26/07) You guys have a class A operation going there, lots of courtesy, clean, aircraft were well taken care of. I'll be back when I'm down there again. Philip Silvert (01/20/07) I should very much like to thank you once again for a most enjoyable few hours learning the many functions of the Cirrus. As always over the many years we have known each other, you have taught Mark basically from ab initio to his current annoying, from my perspective, high level of competence. It has always been not only instructive but very enjoyable flying with you. Mark & I will fly there together at Christmas, if not sooner. With every best wishes to you for the coming year. Col. Ben Knisely (01/16/07) Lisa.... this is one of the reasons I choose you folks to be "my partners" in this aviation endeavor ... both you and your father have displayed a very professional approach and your office (albeit crowded) comes across as being "organized" and has its "stuff together".... I have been around long enough to know that this just doesn't happen by chance ...it is so because of the way you run the business ....I look forward to getting started with Joe ... regards, ben Anne Menkveld (01/11/07) Dear Lisa, We all gone home, back to Peking/China and Bas plus his family back to Holland and missing wonderful Naples! This was a great vacation, the weather was just perfect (although the last day it got a little cooler) great to do some flying and freshen up my pilot skills. Cessna N53352 is a great little airplane. Lisa, thank you so much for all you help and support and special thanks to your father. Bas is still 'up in the clouds' - a proud owner of a solo certificate! Pete did a great job. Hope to return end of this year, it was a great pleasure meeting you all at RexAir! Bas Menkveld (01/11/07) Thanks again for all the things you, Pete and Rex have done. We had a really nice time in Naples. Would it be possible to send the picture with me and Pete again? Thanks, and I hope to see you all later. Ware Fuller (12/26/06) As a visitor from the north, I recently had a very pleasant BFR with Joe. You run a comfortable and professional operation with good equipment, and I plan to rent from you in the future. Cristian Page (11/02/06) I have been flying with RexAir since July 2006 and it is an excellent flight school. Very friendly staff and their instructors provide excellent instruction. Treatment is of the highest order with online scheduling and a homely welcome back from a flight out. I have just been checked out in their new Cirrus SR20 and it is a fantastic aircraft, and their cirrus instructor Joe is outstanding. I would highly recommend RexAir for aircraft rental and flight training. Many Thanks all at RexAir. Dennis Frett During my recent long weekend, I needed to arrange an oil change for my Cherokee during my stay. Ken was terrific in arranging the service on short notice and providing the most professional customer service I've ever encountered in light aircraft maintenance. His service was timely, efficient, convenient, and as agreed. I highly recommend Rexair and Ken and his co-workers for any service you may require while in Naples. Thanks Ken, for being so helpful. Thomas Gloor, Chris Mueller, Alex Amberg and Oliver Kaepelli I have placed some pictures of our stay on my website, commentary to follow http://www.photoshow.net/pilotshop Tom Freitag, Germany Biennial Flight Review Before starting my vacation in Naples I contacted a lot of local flying schools and charter companies via E-mail and received only one answer, which proved very unsatisfying. Most of the companies did not answer my inquiries. Then I was given the address of RexAir by a friend. Only one hour after sending my first E-mail, I received very detailed answers from Rex to all my questions for planning a flying vacation. Rex is a very professional pilot and instructor and definitely able to give the best possible support. Foreign pilots will find his English easily understandable. For those however, who prefer being instructed in German, Markus, his Swiss colleague, will be ready to offer his services. Rex has numerous airplanes available, all of which are clean and in good condition. I received a new Biennial Flight Review and endorsements with Rex and I am looking forward to using his services again during my next vacation in Naples. Currently, I am studying for CPL and IFR in Germany and it will be a pleasure for me to receive further instruction from RexAir, in the US, in the not too distant future. Peter Born, Germany Private Pilot Certificate I just want to thank you very much again for all your help, your passions, and your over-all, absolutely perfect support while finishing my US PPL. I really learned a lot and had, in addition, a wonderful time in Naples. Also, my mother enjoyed her stay so much that she is constantly thinking how to arrange a longer stay in Naples while Europe is having it's wintertime. I was also very pleased to meet your local FAA Designated Examiner who was a very understanding and fair guy. David A. Stuart, Naperville, IL Multi-Engine Rating Rex Gasteiger is the type of instructor to whom I would refer my closest friends. Wolfram Pfahler, Germany Private Pilot Certificate Naples is a fantastic place for spending one's vacation and for flying. RexAir, Inc. offered everything a pilot might need: nice and well maintained airplanes, excellent instructions, very pleasant accommodations, friendly help whenever necessary, interest in the individual goals of the person, and always a friendly and personal atmosphere. I have held a German Pilot License for several years; however, flying at RexAir I have gained many valuable and new experiences, like night flights, instrument flights, and special maneuvers. I have learned a lot and finally completed my American Private Pilot Certificate. I am looking forward to returning to RexAir for further flight instruction. Veit Theig, Germany Aircraft Checkout and Hour Building I would like to thank you for the good time in Naples. Everything worked out so easily and very well. We enjoyed flying there so much. Thank you very much for that. Darek Merkel, Naples, Florida Certificate Flight Instructor Just like the previous certifications, I have never felt more prepared or confident. Rex helped me meet my deadline and made my CFI certification the best gift I have ever received. Rod Ashmore, Naples, Florida Private Pilot Certificate Working with RexAir was a relaxing, rewarding experience. They are true professionals who cater to the needs of their customers. I highly recommend their services. Harald Meier, Germany Biennial Flight Review Rex is a really good instructor. The way Rex takes care of each customer is the best I can imagine and that's what makes RexAir different from other flight schools. No one is treated like a number. Rex is only satisfied if he meets your needs exactly Jeremy Vandersluis, Switzerland Certified Flight Instructor To say that my experiences with Rex and RexAir have been good would be an understatement. From my first contact with Rex, almost a year ago, I was put at ease. Rex made my goal his first priority. His motivation helped to keep me focused on the task at hand. I had been disappointed by impersonal service and unprofessional treatment which I received at other schools, but RexAir has been nothing but a positive experience for me. As an international student based in Switzerland, I was troubled by time pressure. Rex was able to assure me that the task I had set for myself could be accomplished in the time available; he handled the scheduling of my flights and ground school. I came away with my Commercial Multi-engine Instrument Certificate on the first attempt, but more importantly, I was convinced that my time and money had been well spent and that my piloting skills had improved significantly. My second experience with RexAir was equally positive; I obtained my flight instructor certification on the first attempt. The study for the CFI exam was arduous and without the instruction and support I received at RexAir, I am sure that I would have been unable to complete my preparations in time. I have no hesitation in recommending RexAir to any prospective pilot, to any pilot wishing to improve or upgrade his skills, and particularly to foreign students and those with time pressures. Thomas Glinka, Germany Intsrument (IFR) Rating I went to Naples with the intention to pass the IFR-Rating. After a detailed conversation with Rex I felt it was the right decision to start my training program with RexAir. The instructors are very professional and there was always a very personal atmosphere. The training curriculum was very individualized and Rex took great care that I reached my IFR goal. I'm very happy about the cooperation that RexAir provided and I will recommend this business to my friends. Thank you very much RexAir. I'm sure I'll come again.
