"Had a wonderful discovery flight with our pilot, Alex. My son's 18th birthday wish was to take a private flying lesson. We flew over Universal, the Hollywood sign and downtown LA — an amazing experience."
"Amazing experience for an hour of discovery flight. The instructor, Alex, is very professional throughout and gave me control most of the time. The aircraft is very well maintained. Overall a very good experience."
"My first flight at Essence will be one I'll never forget. Joseph was an awesome instructor — professional with great energy. The Diamond aircraft was in great shape and fun to fly, and the views were incredible."
"Choosing Essence Flight School has been one of the best decisions for my aviation career. The team made me feel welcomed and confident. The full-motion simulator and modern fleet are impressive, and the instruction is outstanding."
