Hear to what our students have to say

My father was a pilot and my fondest memories are flying with him, but I always wanted to learn to fly myself. I enrolled at Solberg and was able to fulfill my dream. I highly recommend everyone do the same. Their fleet of Cessna training aircraft are subjected to top-notch maintenance and the people are great to work with. The airport itself is wide-open and provides a perfect training environment. Schedule an introductory lesson at Solberg today, you won’t regret it!

I have always wanted to learn how to pilot an aircraft. Sixteen years ago, I decided it was time. I walked into Solberg Airport and I immediately knew this is where I want to fly. I earned my private pilot certificate and have been coming to Solberg Airport ever since to fly their well-maintained rental aircraft. I fly at least once a week in their New Cessna Skycatcher. Solberg is more than just a flight school, it is a community of people. Even if the weather is down, I head over to Solberg and spend the day with my second family!

What a gift Solberg Airport is to the community & the experience of flight! Solberg Airport exceeded my expectations beyond what I could’ve ever imagined. I am fortunate to be a part of the aviation community & grateful for the quality of experience that Solberg Airport provides…I consider Solberg Airport another home to me…I became part of this generational family owned ariport years ago & since have achieved my goals as a female pilot. It is a comfort still to be a part of the flying community with the Solberg family. The cost is reasonable for a priceless journey to earn such an honorable achievement! It is a life changing adventure and is vital to have the comfort & confidence of good quality instructors & equipment. “It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys…” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
