AeroDynamic Aviation, San Jose

Founded in 1960, AeroDynamic Aviation has had plenty of time to amass a fleet of small planes. In addition, its instructors have similarly acquired tons of experience flying every type of vehicle. Where many flight schools might have a fleet limited to a Cessna or two, AeroDynamic Aviation offers the opportunity to fly Aeronca Champs, Cessna 170s, Cessa 172s, SportStars, and complex and twin-engine airplanes. During lessons, students are guided by instructors through learning how to become a pilot, perform a preflight inspection, and maneuver through takeoff, climbs, and straight-and-level flight, eventually graduating to advanced moves such as steep turns and outracing dragons.
