Snake River Flying & Flight Training Club LLC

Have tons of respect for this crew! Mike is an awesome instructor, learned a lot on our flight! He is knowledgeable and passes that to the student well. Jim and Lisa Thanks for making me feel like one of the family! Will definitely be back for another adventure. Thanks so much! Tom

After 4 days of back-to-back training for my tailwheel endorsement with Lisa as my instructor, I can honestly say that this has been the best week of aviation training I've ever had! It has been challenging, educational (on multiple levels), intense at times, and truly, above all, fun. I had a blast! Lisa, with her husband and partner Jim, showed me a side of the aviation community I have been missing. Thier hospitality was above and beyond. Good, hard working, down to earth people sharing their love of aviation. I'll also mention that I consider their fleet of aircraft to be well equipped and obviously well taken care of!
I showed up at their hangar door a stranger, and left a friend, all in four days. You can't beat that! I'll be back for more...

Lisa and Jim have a terrific flight school, at a very nice airport. The atmosphere at Caldwell is great, and Snake River has very nice planes. I’ve flown with both Lisa and Jim a couple times and it’s great to fly with instructors who really teach well and enjoy helping their students.

WD-40 For a Rusty Pilot
I came to Snake River Flying Club after 10 years of inactivity. I had some medical issues that made it difficult to maintain my 3rd class medical certificate. I am 69 years old and have been a private pilot since I was 18. I have significant flying experience. Flying is a perishable skill and after a 10 year break, I was rusty.
I contacted Lisa at Snake River Flying Club and was immediately impressed with her no non sense direct approach. Lisa has broad experience in aviation and training. She is a stickler for safety, and detail. She is a good communicator and was able to focus in on the areas where I needed the most training.
As an experienced pilot, I have had many instructors over the years. There are instructors that are just building time to move on the airlines, and then are aviation experts that love to teach. Lisa is in the latter class.
Snake River Flying Club also owns their aircraft. They take an ownership interest in the maintenance and operation assuring safe and reliable aircraft.
Snake River Flying Club and Lisa was the WD-40 I needed to remove the rust and get me flying again.

It's hard to describe what it is like to pull back on the yoke and gently lift the plane into the sky with you as the controller of the airplane carrying you wherever you tell it to go. If this is your dream, Snake River is the place to make it happen. Safety, knowledge and experience are here in spades. I recommend you take an introductory flight and interview Lisa and Jim before you pick a flight school. You won't be sorry that you did.
