My wife and I had a great Intro Flight with Blake at TFS. He was a great instructor and very easy to work with. The intro flight is a good way to quickly get up in a plane and see what flying is like. I’d recommend this program to anyone wanting to dabble in flight instruction. Thanks Blake!

I did the CFI and CFII accelerated program within the month of October and passed both checkrides first try. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and friendly. There is a lot of material within both accelerated programs but the instructors there made it easy to digest and fun. I felt that everyone at The Flying School was genuine about getting me to pass and I felt apart of their team.

I have nothing but good things to say about The Flying School. All the staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure I was accommodated. My instructors were professional and had a very in depth knowledge of regulations and advanced flying skills. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to fly for fun or carrier orientated pilots who are looking for training up to the CFI and CFII level.

Best flight school I have ever used for training. My instructor was Aaron who did an exceptional job of helping a rusty pilot feel comfortable in the cockpit again. The school has a well maintained RV-12is equipped with top of the line avionics which was a joy to fly. Everyone that I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I highly recommend The Flying School to anyone interested in flight training.

Successfully completed their accelerated CFI school. Had a good group size of 7. Consisted of flying once a day, a half day of ground school followed by group study. Good clean training room. They assisted with aircraft, instructor, ground instructors and examiner scheduling. It's an intense set of days but the processed worked. Depending how long you've been away from the knowledge or flying part will greatly impact the amount of work. The more prepared the better, however, it sets you up well for what your practical test will require.

Best place in Northern Colorado for training/rental without question. The aircraft are new, well maintained, and regularly upgraded. Both myself and multiple friends have tried the other flight schools at the airport and all settled on The Flying School.

Jay Turnbull has been my instructor and he has been wonderful. He's one of the most knowledge pilots I've ever flown with, every flight he teaches me new and useful things about topics that I feel were barely covered during my primary training (out of town). He's a Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award recipient, has many years of experience, and knows the aircraft inside and out. If you get a chance to fly with him, you will learn something new, regardless of your aviation background.

The instructor Ken was awesome. He shared a lot of knowledge of how to fly the plane and about the business. He was personable and we had a lot of fun. The flying was amazing and Ken showed us a quite a few techniques. I would definitely recommend checking this out whether it's a 1 time experience or you are serious about looking into becoming a pilot.

I have nothing but praise for this flight school. The staff and instructors truly care about student progression. Jay (chief CFI) went out of his way to arrange a checkride date on a short notice and was even there the morning of the exam, pulling the plane for me and fueling it up. You don't see that at other flight schools.
The training courses are setup for fast progression, bootcamp type of deal. All the students are dedicated to getting their certificates/ratings done as quickly and efficiently as possible which creates sort of a camaraderie as we "struggle" through the hurdles of flight training.
I highly recommend The Flying School if you can dedicate 1-2 weeks (depending on the training program) to doing only this, then you will be successful at the end.
