Well maintained and clean aircraft with a team of dedicated and professional instructors under the careful supervision of CFI Richard Foster. I have been learning with FSA for about one year now and I am finding it a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience. If you have ever wondered about flying make sure you give these guys a call!

Another fantastic lesson from Richard Foster CFI - I feel my flying improves each and every time we fly together. I cant recommend this friendly and professional flying school highly enough.
