Testimonials
Private Pilot & Eagle Wing Club Member Bill Breen - Valparaiso After about a year of studies I earned my Private Pilot Certificate, ASEL on September 24, 2006. It wasn’t “all work and no play”. I had a lot of fun doing it, but it was also a lot of work! I just wanted to say Thank You, to you and the entire staff at Eagle Aircraft, for helping me to accomplish my life goal of learning to fly! I especially want to recognize Lisa Lynch and Louie Uridel for the efforts that they put into my training. I presented them with schedule changes, family priorities, and learning difficulties. They always presented an upbeat attitude and gave me encouragement when I didn’t think I would be able to do it. Lisa and Louie, and the entire staff of Eagle Aircraft are “World Class”. I have, and will continue, to recommend Eagle Aircraft for anybody who has an interest in learning to fly. The one-on-one training, with the same instructor who is willing to change his schedule to match yours; being able to study a topic in the comfort of your own home and then go out the next day with your instructor to practice it; and an entire staff that truly want you to succeed; really made the difference for me. It took a lot of time, and money, and I certainly wasn’t the best student, but it was worth every bit of it. I feel so strongly about Eagle Aircraft and the staff that I joined Eagle Wings Flying Club as I want to just enjoy flying for a while as I contemplate an Instrument Rating! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Professional Pilot Student Aaron Adrian - Michigan City "John, Happy Holidays! It seems that 2005 just flew by rather quickly. Now that the Commercial Pilot written exam is under my belt, I look forward to training in preparing for the Check Ride. My biggest challenge thus far has been trying to effectively manage my time in order to achieve my aviation goals. Full-Time college on line, working for Continental at MDW, and commuting really makes it tough but I^m confident it will be worth it in the end. The job at MDW has really provided me with great networking opportunities already and has been a great experience thus far. I am proud to be a flight student at Eagle Aircraft and look forward to achieving additional pilot certificates and ratings through the professional instruction of Eagle Aircraft. Thanks for being a great Flight School and giving people like me the opportunity to achieve an aviation dream. See you and the rest of the great Eagle Aircraft Staff soon." *Aaron has since earned his Commercial Rating and is building flight time while applying for pilot positions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Pilot / IFR Rated / Commercial Student Mary Ann McGuan - Miller, IN "To know how to fly has been a dream of mine for years. When I talked to people about it, Eagle Aircraft was mentioned over and over. I gave Eagle a call and am so glad I did! Learning to fly has been one of the best experiences of my life. I have not only learned to fly with Eagle, but gotten my Instrument rating, as well. Everyone at Eagle is friendly, experienced and dedicated to producing competent and knowledgable pilots. Come fly with Eagle!"
