I wanted to express that my now removed review of Empire Aviation was written out of anger and immaturity, and that I regret writing it, and I want everyone to know that Empire Aviation is a fine place to learn how to fly. I flew with Paul from February 2017 until May 2017 - earning my Private Pilots License in that time. I had a blast, and have since enrolled in AP school to continue my aviation career pursuit. I recommend Paul to anyone who is looking to learn how to fly. Paul offers the cheapest rates around, which really saved me from spending all of the money I had saved up. I spent around $8,000 getting my license, which is a good deal in the triangle area! I heard a guy spent over 50K at RDU, and hadn´t even soloed at that point! Paul got him his license in no time! I had a disagreement with the owner Paul, over something silly, and potentially exposed people to a negative view of Paul that was projected through my anger. Paul is a good man, and will take you far. Good luck!

Paul Hesse is great flight instructor. Paul taught me to fly nearly ten years ago. Empire Aviation offers excellent instruction and value. Paul instructed me through my private pilot license and my instrument rating. I recommend Empire Aviation to anyone who wants to become a pilot.

★★☆☆☆

I encourage you to go elsewhere. Flight instructor is extremely spacey, has too much going on to give you the instruction you deserve. Refuses to repair aircraft in poor condition. Likes to gossip about airport management and other students. Very pushy, and likes to promise a lot of things he can´t deliver. Don´t waste your time and energy, stay away.
