I have flown with Tim Fisher for many years. When Tim said he was starting a flight school, I knew I had to be part of that! Aero Elite Flight Training is an excellent flight school. Located in the main terminal of the Leesburg Airport (KJYO) allows for easy access to their amazing fleet of aircraft. The wide range of aircraft type gives the students and renters great selection. Heck, then even have a 2020 Cessna 172s G1000 NXi with “new plane” smell! Their instructors are some of the best in the area, and the school makes it friendly to guide you through the schools training and rental process. I highly recommend everyone check out Aero Elite Flight Training!
