Martha’s Inspiration: As a mid 20s American working in an office, I found myself feeling restless and unfulfilled with my current routine. I spent my days staring at a computer screen, dreaming of adventure and yearning to see the world beyond the confines of my desk. One day, I stumbled upon a book about a young woman who traveled the world as a pilot. As I read about her experiences soaring through the skies and exploring new destinations, something inside me clicked. I realized that becoming a pilot could be the key to unlocking the adventure and freedom that I craved.

I researched multiple places before landing on Race City. They have a nice facility, great planes with availability, friendly staff, great owners, and the best CFIs around! Couldn’t be happier!

Thinking about flight training or just trying to finish flight training after trying for years at other schools? Go see Race City, they will put a plan together and get you to your checkride while helping you manage your budget. Newer airplanes and great people.

I finished my private here and I only have good things to say. The instructors, maintenance, and office staff are always helpful and willing to work with you.

I am very glad to see new ownership and leadership at RCFO. The new management is very proactive and I will be back after a long hiatus.

Love this airport and the experienced instructors at the flight school. Their prices are some of the best in the area especially considering the quality of instruction. Great FBO and classroom too. I got my license quickly and now fly commercially. Give them a call and go visit!
