I have visited a couple of times, and the crew cards are always available. Staff is very friendly, and their music selection is outstanding. Dan has connected by email, and has been very responsive to my questions. Highly recommend stopping by, and even getting service. I am currently getting my Cirrus 100 hour service.

Top notch Flight School across the board. I had to accomplish a lot of training in a short period and they went above and beyond to accommodate. Friendly staff, very well kept planes and clearly a culture that cares about aviation. From flight training to fuel service, I highly recommend Classic Aviation.

Attentive staff and classy operation! Some of the most well kept training aircraft in all of North America! Tailwheels to glass panels, they have you covered!

Truly a fantastic operation. Priority service with a smile from a team of very nice people. We operated a Phenom 100 and 300 there this week fueling multiple times and coming in and out with no hiccups. Classic fully supports their transient jet customers and does a great job supporting the local aviation community at the same time. Can't wait to come back!

Nice friendly staff. Free ride to Tulip Festival was nice, we didn't have to rent a cat for the afternoon
