Students & Guests
Sam M.
Instrument Rating Student
"For 4.5 years I struggled with other schools. NextGen was the first place that actually invested in me. Brandon, Aleksa, Luis and the team treated me with respect and genuinely cared. I finally found my flight-school home."
Matt L.
Discovery Flight Guest
"Unreal experience. I've wanted to fly since I was a kid — got to take off, pull some G's, and land a real plane on my first lesson. Great price, great instructor."
Ryan P.
Student Pilot
"It's gotten busy at NextGen, for good reason. They're professionals and they go the extra mile. Personable, responsive, will get you there. Great experience with every instructor."
Roseanna T.
Discovery Flight Guest
"My kids and I flew out of the Riverside location — awesome experience. Our instructor was welcoming and the flight was over an hour round trip. Definitely doing Catalina next."
