Santa Monica Flyers

"If you want to learn how to fly and if you have a very good finance, I highly recommend Santa Monica Flyers. It's a good school, nearby and convenient location. The instructors of this school are friendly and enthusiastic. The time is also flexible."

"As a pilot from the UK I wanted to experience some flying whilst in LA, and boy did it deliver. Incredible fun flying up the coast and back. If you want to fly then I highly recommend giving Santa Monica Flyers a call. Thank you ✈️"

"I am an enormous Top Gun fan and have always wanted to learn how to fly a plane. This was everything I could have imagined and more, start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with open arms. I did the Intro Flight in their Sportcruiser with my instructor, Danny Grijalva, who was nothing but kind and treated me like a serious pilot candidate (which I hope to someday become!). We spent about an hour in a classroom and 10-15mins in the hangar, learning about terminology, aerodynamics and aircraft controls as well as safety protocols (both for on the ground and in the air). There was a lot of information to take in, but having a vested interest in aviation was helpful in terms of my ability to absorb it. Danny’s easygoing nature and genuine passion for flying and instruction also made things easy to follow-along and understand. Throughout the flight, Danny was calm and positive, which is so important when teaching people something new, let alone how to fly a plane! :) I live in Toronto and was visiting a friend but I am definitely considering moving to LA - even for a short while - to get my private pilot’s license with the Santa Monica Flyers. How am I supposed to go back to Toronto and fly over a grey concrete jungle when I’ve started my journey over the sunny skies and blue ocean coast of Malibu?! ;) Thank you again, Team, for everything. See you soon."

"We had a great flight over Malibu! Kolby was a great pilot, fun and chill but made us feel super safe. The experience was amazing. Definitely recommend!"

"Book now! Make this a part of your life! Had an amazingly gorgeous flight around Santa Monica with some special treatment when we got to fly over the areas we told our pilot we got married with a breathtaking sunset. I felt so safe and taken care of. All questions were answered quickly. 10/10 highly recommend!!"
