Review written by my 9 year old son:
"Amazing. It's really cool and really easy. If they ask you if you want 42 minutes or 1 hour - pick 1 hour! So fun! No worries about your age. I was 9 and flying a plane!"
Review by mom: My son is obsessed with all things aviation and is very interested in being a pilot! Ethan did a wonderful job explaining everything. My son got to fly an airplane and really get a feel for what it's like to be a pilot! Wonderful educational experience for both of us!

I have just finished what has been a beautiful adventure in Paragon. Six months of fun but also very challenging journey in KFMY. The school and it’s fleet and facilities are top notch. On top of this the staff are absolutely brilliant. From the moment you walk in, you’re being welcomed by always kind and positive front desk staff. Thank you guys for your beautiful smiles and positive energy – you always make a day a little bit better. Amanda, Erin, Lucas,Marlin, Caleb , Adley, Sarah…. I will miss you! Student care is on the top level – students ambassadors are always available to help not only with schedule but with anything and everything – they are a massive support. Thank you Kelsey for always finding a solution to any problem or hesitation I had in the last 6 months. I wasn’t always the easiest to deal with and you have done an exceptional job. I will be forever grateful. The management team is also nothing short of brilliant, always available and with hands on attitude. Jeff, Dennis, Chris – thank you for all your help and support – you guys are amazing. Last but not least – super star instructors. I had a chance to fly with a few which was an awesome experience. Matt, you will always have a special place in my heart – thank you so much for teaching me how to fly! You are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, kind….. an outstanding teacher and leader. I wish you all the best – wherever you fly next, they will be lucky to have you. Austin – thank you so much for finishing my training – it wasn’t easy but we made it! You’re an amazing instructor and a great human being, I was lucky to train with you. Thank you! To all other instructors I had a pleasure to fly with – thank you guys, I took something out of each lesson, each of you thought me something new – Ray, Junior, Lauren, Adam, Anna – you guys are great, I wish you all the best with your careers. If I’ll ever decide to train the in the US again Paragon will be my first and only stop. It’s just the best school out there and the views from the cockpit are not bad either 😉 Oh and I almost forgot about the coffee – the best in Fort Myers! Thank you guys, I will miss you! Diana

Did a discovery flight with Tony, had a great experience! He was knowledgeable and provided exceptional service. The fleet was safe and well taken care of. Thanks again!

If you’re about to start flight training, there’s two things I think you should know:

1.) Aviation is a journey. A pretty awesome one to say the least. You’re about to have a lot of fun, make quite a few incredible memories, and meet great people too.
2.) You found THE best school to start that journey. Good job!

I walked in for a discovery flight at Paragon several years ago when I was 15 and it changed my life. Paragon was without a doubt the perfect place to start my aviation journey. I have tons of memories I will never forget, became part of a family of great staff and friends, oh and even got some flight certs too (Private through MEI all at Paragon).

Paragon will equip you to be the best pilot out there. A state of the art facility, a reliable and advanced fleet, caring owners, impeccable maintenance, fantastic staff, and knowledgeable instructors. Don’t believe me? Walk in for a tour and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Like I said, you already found the best school, the hard parts done, now buckle up for the journey, I promise you won’t regret it.

On Saturday we celebrated my mom’s 95th birthday with a discovery flight with Andrew! My mom is still on cloud 9 telling everyone what a wonderful day. She had waited a lifetime to fly!
Thank you to Christine who worked so hard to assure that mom had the best day. Brooke for helping day of and reassuring her and us (her 6 very nervous daughters)! And caleb for showing us the observation area to watch her take off and putting up with all of our questions!
Andrew was so kind and what a wonderful pilot and instructor!
Everyone at Paragon thank you for making our moms dream come true! It truly was perfect!

Was by far the best experience in my flying career. Started my instrument training at this school and I was lucky enough to be hired by this company as a flight instructor. Paragon has grown as flight school with the students, the equipment, and a beautiful new training center right on the ramp. Also opening new training centers in the southeast.

Even with all that, the staff that makes the experience from great to perfect. I have made friends there that will last a lifetime. I can’t say enough about this school and I recommend anyone wanting to learn or just check it out, go to Fly at Paragon.
