Great place to rent an airplane and make friends.

Friendly staff and awesome flight instructors. Patrick, FBO owner, operator and A & P mechanic is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful when its time to perform your aircraft annual inspection. Ans, the manager, is a sharp and sweet person and ( was ) an expert in many PP ratings.I learned how to fly at Midfield Aviation and received my private pilot license in 2009. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to become a private pilot or (if youre already a PP), perform your biannual review with any of their fine flight instructors.

Great Private Air Field For Small Fixed Winged Aircraft/Helicopter, Provides Personal Hangars & Also Personal Flight Lessons In A Single Engine Aircraft

Im a commercial pilot with over 2000hrs flight time. On regular basis I fly to Apple Valley Airport to visit my friend for the weekend. I realized the instructor who teach at this flight school especially on Jan 26, 2020 who was flying C_172 with Tail Number ( N42126 ) at 2pm is super inexperience and does not know many FAA regulations. He simply did not know how to work a Airport Traffic Patterns and provide a good position report for the safety of other aircraft departing or arriving Apple Valley Airport. This instructor who was flying Cessna N42126, you should read Table 4-1-1 of the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) before you teach another student how to fly!!!!!!!!!

1Great place learn to fly.

Im a pilot, my plane lives there!

I was visiting my son and his family in Pasadena when I paid Midfield a visit. The location is great and very easy to fly in and out of. They were very friendly and helpful. Flew a couple of different airplanes to include a Piper Arrow and Warrior. The airplanes are well kept and reliable. Had some dual instruction to Catalina Island which was the highlight of my trip to Apple Valley. Thanks for a great visit and will be coming by again in April for some more flying.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced, fair pricing

The folks here have been the best to me since getting my license there back in 2005. Hard to believe how time passes! This place is low key, definitely a down home feel.

My son recently took an intro flight, he wants to b a pilot. He loved the experience. Professional and safe. Great place

I recently had the chance to take a photo flight with Midfield Aviation over VCV. Everyone there was helpful and courteous. My pilot went out of his way to be helpful and to point out the local areas. He even showed me where Roy Rogers and Dale Evans were buried. Coincidentally I stay in the room with their name on it at the Travelodge in LAX sometimes.

Best place to learn, rent and fly. Great people and a comfortable setting for all of the family.

Experienced,friendly,funny staff, good price,thanks for flight

I originally chose Midfield Aviation because it was the only FBO offering taildragger training within 100 miles. After solo, I continued at Midfield because rates are affordable & the instructors are capable pilots. The desert winds blow, so youll get plenty of crosswind practice!Midfield personnel dont wear uniforms, dont spout the textbook, dont try to sell a canned pro-pilot program. If these are faults, Im glad they have them.Anyhow, I received training for most of my ratings at Midfield. Im at 4,500 hours now & I teach ground school at Midfield Aviation. Come out & visit Midfield & lets get you started!

Great service from Midfield Aviation in general and Craig in particular. Had a issue at DAG, Craig flew in, troubleshot the problem and fixed it, all at a reasonable cost.

Midfield Aviation is one of the last of its kind. It is a true pilots FBO. I have been flying since i was underage, 40 years and counting, East and West coast, and this is what it is all about. Midfield Aviation is a tight knit family of incredibly knowledgeable and passionate people who know and love flying. Most schools these days are made up of sterile characterless LOW HOURS instructors who couldnt teach their way out of wet paper bag. Fly with Midfield and you learn how to REALLY fly. Patrick, the owner, is one of the most knowledgeable instructors and A&Ps I have ever met. Ans is an ace pilot and instructor herself but alas they are both retired. Maybe a good begging on bended knee would get you keys to the kingdom with them, its worth a try.I fly my J3 4 hours from Tahoe just to have Patrick and Don work on it, and they are open to a pilot assisted annual. Once I had to rebuild my canvas wing and he let me help in the rebuild. What a learning experience that was. I will cherish it.Sure the place is dusty, smokey and filled with parts from who knows when. Who cares, that is a patina that comes from years of work and wont rub off easily, its called character. I may seem to be overly gushing about this place but i really feel strongly about the value it adds to the entire aviation experience. I hope they stay in business for a very long time. By the way, the prices can not be beat. Give em a shot, if you dont like how they do it there are a thousand other cookie cutter FBOs out there willing to push you through the presto facto pilot machine. Enjoy the ride.
