 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thrust is truly the gold standard of flight schools. They have the best fleet in the country equipped with glass cockpits and air conditioning; not to mention you’ll never have to miss out on flying because a plane is in maintenance there will always be a plane they can swap out for you. Michael, Nashon, and Yaniel work incredibly hard to make sure all student schedules are taken care of. Irma takes student services to another level by going above and beyond to make sure each student has what they need from one-on-one tutoring to organizing student social events she’s amazing! The owner, Patrick, constantly has his finger on the pulse. He genuinely cares about a student’s progress. “I want to do right by you” is what he once told me. His priority is doing what’s best for each individual student and he demonstrates that daily. Julie helps the students get ready for the work force for life after school with her many years in aviation recruiting and she’s always accessible and kind to everyone! This is the dream team! This program changed my life, don’t waste time looking at pilot mills JOIN THRUST! It’ll be the best choice you’ve ever made!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An excellent flight school dedicated to providing the highest quality training, aircraft, and facilities. The instructors and staff at Thrust Flight have given me the ability to develop into the best of my potential as a pilot. My exceptional CFI, Joshua T, has greatly boosted my confidence in an aircraft. His knowledge, expertise, patience, and top notch piloting ability make him one of the best CFIs that I've had the pleasure to learn from.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a student who completed the ZTA program from private, I loved my time here as a student and the community it brought me. The instructors, other students, dispatch, maintenance, and everyone else here would go out of their way to help me however they could. When you invest your time, money, and trust into a school you hope to get what you were signing up for. I can say that Thrust more than met my expectations for what I would receive from a flight program. I’m very thankful for the people and the excellent training that Thrust has given me!
