Sweet Aviation

I had a great time on a Discovery Flight and would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys spending time in the air! It was neat to see all the checks done on the plane before takeoff. The actual flight was a really cool experience, as well. For the first part of the flight I got to *attempt* to steer on the ground (I was not very good!) and then some controls for takeoff. Then I got to enjoy some views and take pictures, and then had another turn at the controls. Thanks to Connor for the excellent instruction!

I went on a discovery flight there in one of their training helicopters. The facility is very nice and well kept. My instructor Elizabeth was very kind and encouraging. After the flight she even took the time to help me look at the cost of receiving my private pilots license and talking through the best way to go about it.

If you are wondering about whether you should get a Discovery Flight through Sweet Aviation, I recommend doing it. From the very begining of the process all the way through the flight, the process was very easy. I ordered the helicopter Discovery Flight for my adult son with special needs. I was able to schedule it without incident. Then when we arrived the day of the flight, we were met right away by the staff and pilot. Carter was the pilot assigned to our Discovery Flight. He took all the time needed for my son abd even answered all of the questions my husband and I had. He did not over do with my son and made sure my son knew what to expect when inside the helicopter. When finished showing and explaining things, they went to the helicopter. There was a tour of the helicopter, help with getting buckled in, headphone placement, and reminders of where to place his hands and feet on the controls. My son was so excited. He got to fly the helicopter! Carter flew over my son's house where his housemates got to see them. Then they flew around downtown Fort Wayne and Parkview field where the Tin Caps play. My son is still talking about it. Great experience! Thank you Carter and Sweet Aviation for making Corey's birthday.

I had a beyond amazing experience with Sweet Aviation and Michael Neese as my instructor. I purchased an Enstrom 280FX as a zero time rotor pilot with the intent of getting my commercial rating. Mike traveled to my home base for a week of instruction. I can not begin to express how professional he was with every detail. As I progressed as a Pilot he would continue to tighten his parameters to meet me exactly were I was in the learning process. His work ethic and dedication to my success was exemplary. I felt as if he had the same desire for my goal to be accomplished which was amazing. Like a great coach, his instruction will stick with me all through my aviation journey. Knowing that this is the culture Michael strives for at Sweet Aviation, I would venture to say you cant go wrong with any of their instructors. As a business owner, Sweet Aviation is lucky to have Michael Neese represent them.
