Known them for several years now. After being at multiple flight schools in two states, and talking among many peers, one of the best things I can say is that Race City cares about their students. One of the only flight schools that genuinely cares about each individual and doesn’t overcharge or “milk” money out of their students. You get more than you pay for.

I participated in the Discovery flight and had a great experience exactly as advertised. All of the staff is super friendly and did an excellent job of walking me through the pre-flight checklist as well as what to do mid flight. I’d highly recommend Race City to anyone interested in learning what it’s like to fly a plane.
