Carson was an amazing flight instructor for my Discovery flight! He was organized, easy to understand, and just a very thoughtful and present teacher. He was able to calm my nerves and explained the phenomenon of what we were feeling in the airplane in ways that were simple and took the fear out of flying. He went above and beyond my Discovery flight expectations and I am absolutely looking forward to taking lessons with him after I finish up my ground schooling. If you're thinking about taking flying lessons - just try it with Carson! You'll be glad you did.
