Experience the freedom of flying with us

"I cannot recommend Airplanes and Attitude enough for anyone seeking flight instruction. Their staff is amazing and everyone is always smiling. I had the pleasure of working with Parker Dunlap as my primary instructor. He is patient and very thorough in his explanation of the maneuvers. I also had the opportunity to fly with Caleb and Alex, who are awesome as well."

"This was an amazing flight school with some of the most kind and greatly helpful people. They were extremely knowledgeable and efficient. While I was at Airplanes and Attitude, they went out of their way to help me succeed and I truly appreciate all they have done for me."

"Highly recommend reaching out to the team at Airplanes and Attitude to get started on your aviation journey. Great location at the growing McKinney Airport (KTKI). Growing fleet of great airplanes that are maintained and available. Good tech/avionics in the plane great for learning. The instructors are top notch. Plenty of full time CFIs available to match your schedule. They have some part time instructors who work for Airlines or Private Jet operators providing different perspectives of the industry. The school is a family owned business and they do a great job helping you as an individual train at your own pace. I like the personalized training and experience you won’t find at other corporate “pilot mill” schools. Send an email or give them a call to book a discovery flight/get information on getting started."

"I completed my Private Pilot License (PPL) training at Airplane and Attitude (A&A) after having prior flight experience at other schools. Compared to those, A&A stood out significantly in terms of aircraft quality and the overall learning experience. From the beginning, the process was relatively straightforward —thanks to Jamie, whose responsiveness and effective use of technology made registration and scheduling incredibly user-friendly. The integration of digital tools throughout the training added efficiency and convenience that I didn’t experience before. My primary instructor, Ben Riggs, was exceptional. He combines deep aviation knowledge with strong teaching skills and, just as importantly, patience a trait that’s invaluable when teaching complex skills repeatedly. Ben’s approachability and professionalism make him an outstanding CFI. Throughout my training, I also had progress evaluations with Holly and Caleb, both of whom conducted their assessments with professionalism and attention to detail( very similar to DPE which help me understand how would be the experience on check-ride). Their thoughtful feedback was helping me identify areas that needs improvement. A&A’s aircraft quality is another major strength—not once did I experience a flight cancellation due to mechanical issues. The planes are exceptionally well-maintained, both mechanically and aesthetically. For a student like me, the clean and consistent interiors made it easier to focus and learn effectively. In summary, the combination of well-maintained aircraft, skilled and personable instructors, and a well-structured training system sets A&A apart. Choosing the right school is critical—not doing so can result in wasted time and money. I highly recommend A&A for PPL training, and I believe they operate with fairness, integrity, and a genuine commitment to student success."
