★★★★★
As a high time professional pilot I wanted some piston light twin time to refresh procedures since I've only been flying jets for decades. Tyler was a real pro and excellent instructor. Highly recommend Leopard Aviation!
★★★★★
Leopard has an awesome culture going. They have created a chill low-key environment (and helped by plenty of LaCroix) in which the instructors know you well and guide you through what you’re learning. It’s an exciting and fun way to learn to fly, and not at all stressful.
★★★★★
Very excellent school. Has great and amazing CFI’s and a good learning environment.
★★★★★
I have been flying with Leopard for a few months now and it is, by far, the best training I have come across. I have flown at 2 other flight schools in the valley and none of them come close to the professionalism and quality instruction that Leopard offers! It truly is the best flight school to train at!
★★★★★
Leopard Aviation has brand new airplanes and top notch CFIIs. I highly recommend Leopard Aviation
★★★★★
Cannot say enough. Love these guys. Great instructors. Great help.
★★★★★
Leopard Aviation is extremely professional, provides top-notch instruction from experienced CFI-I's, and their Cessna 172's are brand-new and equipped with the G1000 glass cockpits.
★★★★★
I love Leopard Aviation. Staff is fun and friendly to everyone. Planes are new and fully loaded and well maintained. The owner doesn’t spare any expense even offering Bose A20 headsets for students to use during training.
★★★★★
My flight school experience with Leopard Aviation has been everything I could have hoped for. All the staff are extremely friendly and work together to help students succeed. It has been very convenient to do everything at my own pace to work with my schedule while still getting the support I need to complete my Private Pilot License in a timely/cost effective manor.
★★★★★
Moved across the country looking to become a pilot. I found Leopard and have loved every second of it. Best decision of my life to do my training through them!
★★★★★
Leopard has been awesome so far. I am working with Aaron and he has been great. He has been very accommodating with my schedule and getting up super early in the morning so we can go out and fly. Can't wait to get my PPL. Update: Passed my check ride December 21st of 2020. Was very well prepared for the exam and flight test.
