Our Student's Testimonies:
"My son and I fly with the Military Aviation Museum, and we are blessed to fly many WWII aircraft. Getting our type rating in the DC-3 with Job Savage was absolutely fantastic. Job knows that DC-3 inside and out and his manner of instructing truly has you enjoying every minute that you are flying".
"Getting checked out in the Vintage Flying Machine's DC-3 was a blast! Job and Tim Savage were very accommodating and were a wealth of knowledge about the aircraft. Once I told them I was interested in getting the type rating they were quick to get everything set up and we started the training right away. Having been checked out in several aircraft before, I can say Job was a great instructor and knows the DC-3 inside and out. He was very knowledgeable about the systems and flying characteristics and made me feel confident and ready for the checkride. I would highly recommend Vintage Flying Machines if you are interested in getting a type rating in the DC-3."
