AOPA Awards SCFS Outstanding Flight School Honor
We were excited in January of 2014 when Nick Loftus, our Chief Flight Instructor, was awarded St. Louis CFI of the Year at the 10th Annual Midwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show.
Then, on October 4th the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) presented its third annual Flight Training Excellence Awards to top flight schools and flight instructors. This year more than 3,600 flight students participated in the voluntary AOPA online poll.
Out of an evaluation of 1,447 different flight schools, St. Charles Flying Service is extremely honored to learn that we are one of just 10 flight schools in the United States to receive the title of “Outstanding Flight School”!
