"Great School. Just did 50+ hours here for my ppl and it was awesome. The 172 was in great condition and the guys here were constantly on top of everything. I was able to do the time in less than 2 months. Thank you weather gods. And my CFI Chloe is fantastic. Great instruction and insane availability. Definitely request her. I’ll be back for my instrument."
"Just had a great discovery flight for my daughter and I. Carl was a great instructor full of positivity and enthusiasm for his craft. He made us feel welcome and made my daughter's first flight experience a super amazing one! The facility , scheduling, aircraft availability and support was top notch! Gonna try to make it out again soon!"
"MH Aviation was an excellent choice! Rarely do I give out 5 star reviews, but they deserve it. My aircraft was AOG and they made sure to work hard to get me airborne. The A&P's were very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about servicing my plane. I would gladly make the trip back to Fox field for maintenance. Highly recommend."
"MH Aviation is a fantastic flight school, FBO and MX shop. I fly for a major airline and have been teaching for over 10 years and know a good aviation organization when I see one. MH is top notch.

I look forward to teaching my students and servicing my plane for years to come."
