“Mike Lacy SHOULD win a Flight Training Experience Award because he takes personal responsibility to ensure that each of his students are learning and growing as pilots in each step of training. Not just preparing them for a checkride but going much farther, preparing them for real life pilot situations.”

“I had not flown a plane as pilot in command in nearly 20 years. Mike helped me overcome any apprehension I had of getting back up in the air. Our first cross country helped me remember my love of flying.”

“Michael is an outstanding flight instructor. He truly cares about his students and ensures the instructional process and environment creates a strong foundation to empower his students to be successful pilots.”
