Rated 5 out of 5
I had such a great experience for my first time flying with Fly Umatilla. I was super nervous and Ryan and his team did such a great job going over everything thoroughly, answering all of my questions, and making me feel safe and comfortable in the plane. If you are thinking about trying to fly or taking a test flight, I highly recommend!

Great flight school! You’re not just another student here — they really take the time to make lessons fit your needs. The instructors are awesome and make learning to fly fun. I definitely recommend trying a discovery flight with them or a refresher if you’re already a licensed pilot.
