ABOUT US

We started Horseshoe so students could get all their ratings as quickly and economically as possible. With the Schweizer 300C, there is no FAR 73 regulation meaning you can get all your ratings in well under 200 hours.

Alex Russell is Certified Flight and Instrument Instructor. Alex was trained by former Army and Army Instructor pilots.

"I became an instructor because flying helicopters is pure fun. It is something I want to share with anyone who has flown previously or always wanted to fly. I get as much satisfaction from seeing a student get their private license as I did when I got mine." --Alex

Shannon Glenn is a Certified Flight Instructor with time in both Robinson and Schweizer training helicopters.

"I prefer teaching in the Schweizer 300C. The throttle control gives the student a better appreciation of power management. The Schweizer is also a more stable platform for teaching and was designed for teaching."

At Horseshoe we give you our undivided attention. We know what it is like in bigger schools where they sometimes don't appreciate the commitment of time and finances a student makes. When you fly at Horseshoe you fly with the owner.

"I know what it is like to make the professional pilot commitment. I will show students my appreciation by giving each the very best training possible." --Alex

"If you dreamed of flying helicopters for Army or the National Guard, consider getting your private rating first to better your chances of admission and completion of the Army's flight school program. We can get you your private rating very economically in our 300C."
