Hear From Our Students

After conducting thorough research to find a flight school that offered a combination of top-tier education, rigorous standards, and a supportive community atmosphere, I selected Thrust. This decision has proven to be one of my best. The administration and instructors at Thrust have consistently gone above and beyond to assist me throughout my training. Even amidst the joyful chaos of welcoming our second child, Thrust remained accommodating and understanding. I cannot commend my experience with Thrust highly enough.

Kellen KnightZero Time to Airline Student

I am a ZTA student and recently finished my End of Course as a CFI at Thrust Flight School. Not only are the airplanes new (G1000, Glass Cockpit). I was a professional teacher in the Texas School System for 7 years prior to training at Thrust. From my experience teaching I can say with 100% confidence that Thrust Flight School takes what the very best of teachers do, and then brings that to an even higher level. The team at Thrust cares about you as a student. They want you to succeed. They are very approachable, amiable, communicative, and inclusive. Given the opportunity to pursue training again from zero time, I would still pick Thrust every time. I’m very proud to have trained at Thrust and consider it an honor to have had the privilege of flying as a student here.

James CarpenterZero Time to Airline Student

As someone who started out at one of the big, three-letter flight schools, I can confidently say that Thrust Flight is setting the bar. The quality of instruction and the aircraft are top-tier, but what really sets this place apart is the people. From admin to dispatch to fellow students, everyone is genuinely invested in helping you reach your next goal. Thrust Flight isn’t just a flight school — it’s a community. And that makes all the difference.
