If you’re looking into learning how to fly I would recommend Race City 1000 times! Quality instruction, nice staff, and flexible scheduling. Thank you race city for making my student pilot journey fun!

Michael Nunez

I had my first discovery flight with Ethan and he was very knowledgeable and nice, and was very clear when teaching about the operations of the planes! 100% recommend

Jason Briggs

Awesome staff great experience on the discovery flight!!!!

Grace Li

I love race city flight operations!! Josh is a great instructor!

Mike Hege

Would highly recommend RaceCity 14A As a flight school and ground training! This is a family owned and operated business/flight school/FBO that you will not find anywhere quite like it. I did the back-to-back weekend course for the PPL ground school/written test prep. Overall, I’m very pleased and feel like it prepared me for both the test and an upcoming check ride. Patrick, Nicole, Josh and Kyle are amazing!

Michael Weeks

5 stars is not enough! The whole crew at RCFO is professional, friendly, and genuinely cares about your success as a student. Could not recommend them enough.

Jacob Morris

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Race City Flight Operations is hands down the best flight school I have trained with. I have been to three different flight schools prior, and no one even comes close. Race City truly wants you to succeed. Their organization, knowledge, and attention to detail are the best I have ever seen. They have a clear structure and proven templates to follow that set you up for success instead of leaving you guessing. You always know what is expected and what the next step is. They also make you feel like part of their family, not just another student. Since switching to Race City, I have seen huge progress in both my flying skills and overall aviation knowledge. I honestly wish I would have started my training with them from day one. If you are serious about learning to fly and want a school that is fully invested in your success, this is the place to be. – Jacob

Had a fantastic experience doing the discovery flight! The owners were phenomenal, so sweet! The flight was very informative and so enjoyable! Definitely recommend it!

Jessica Rinaman

Our 17 year old had an excellent experience during his discovery flight. Everyone seems very professional and knowledgeable. We will be back!
