"Three years ago, after joining Mountain View College for Associates degree in Professional Pilot, I started searching for the best flight school close to my residence. I started looking into different flight schools where I had bad experience starting from no-one being in the flight schools to answer my question to people being more money oriented and not training oriented. And finally my fate brought me to this wonderful flight school "Aviator Air Centers, Inc." The people at the front desk were very friendly. When I started asking questions that they didn't know, they referred me to such a nice management. The management helped me finish my paper work and got me ready to start my training. I had opportunity to train with very professional instructors. My pace of learning never frustrated my instructor. Instead, he always motivated me. I had financial difficulties sometimes, but Aviator's lowest price in this competitive market helped me stay focus on my dreams.

After 2 years of training and going to school, I finally finished all my goals. I achieved my Commercial Pilot Certificate in Single/Multi Engine, Instrument rating, Ground Instructor- Advanced, Instrument and flight Instructor Single, Multi and Instrument.

Aviator family takes care of its student not just up to completion of training, but after that too. After finishing all my certificates and ratings, I was offered a job as Flight Instructor. I took it. I am a flight instructor today at Aviator Air Centers, Inc., where I try to help and motivate past, current and prospective students to achieve their dream in flying career. I would like to thank all the people at Aviator: Dispatchers, Fuelers, Mechanics, Instructors, Proctors and Management, for bringing me to this point. I am now proud to be a part of Aviator family."
