I have flown that plane. Executive flyers is a great school. Who is the instructor that you were flying with, do you remember?

Rob Marshall was the instructor... don't know if he's still there.

I don't think there's an age restriction for an introductory flight. Some flight schools require you to be 16 in order to fly certain planes or enroll in certain lessons, so just call around. An introductory flight costs between $60 and $80; Matthew got to actually take the controls during his 30-minute introductory flight.

I don't know about Sky Walk. We chose Executive Fliers because the Air Force ROTC Detachment (AF) at CSUS recommended them; The AF used to send their students to Executive Fliers for their flight screening program before it was discontinued

i've done some research and i also found that Sky Walk, Inc is also a good school too.

So can you give me whats the pro and cons of those 2 flight schools ? which one is better/cheaper? oh and Fyi im 15 right now :]

I recommend Executive Fliers. They're located at Sacramento Executive Airport off of Freeport Blvd.
