Just had 2 family introductory flights, the parents with flight instructor Kelly, and myself and a friend with flight instructor Camile. Cant say enough how awesome each flight experience was! My folks split it up one flying to Lincoln, pilot swap, and one returning to auburn - and they LOVED it. Their instructor was very safe, thorough, passionate about flying, and fun to learn with making it an epic experience. They even went back the same day to gather more info to study on how the plane works even. Speaking for myself, it was the best experience yet when Ive had many lessons and instructors over the years with two other schools. Camile was top notch, professional, safe, easy to learn with, fun to relate to, and also a passionate instructor where her teaching experience shined. We took off, flew around Nevada City, had a pilot swap in Grass Valley, and saw some incredible and iconic views around the American River Canyon. For myself it was the perfect reintroduction to flying, and for my friend an unforgettable first time flying experience. I appreciated the intricate details on flight safety and operations. A memorable and remarkable aviation experience for my family is all we gotta say - looking forward to another flight soon! Auburn is the perfect location with great flying conditions and weather with nearby airports to visit and unbeatable topography providing a wide variety of flying opportunities for the most versatile experience. Sunshine Flyers awesome office staff and professional instructors can lead the way from the first timer to aviation hero and to even become an instructor yourself! Thanks again!

Sunshine Flyers is a great organization. They have one primary goal and that is to teach you to fly - safely and with confidence. The instructors are knowledgeable and strive to make every situation a learning experience.Their secondary goal is to make it fun!

Hands down, the BEST flight school in Auburn. Mike Duncan was my instructor. I came to Mike with a desire to fly and absolutely no experience. The man is unflappable (I know this from my own lessons). Always encouraging, patient and kind, he has loads of experience and knowledge to pass on to his students.

Im a retired professional pilot and have gone to Mike Duncan at Sunshine Flyers for my BFR for the last few years. Mike is a great guy to work with. He has been doing this for a long time, and his wealth of experience shows. He is down-to-earth and he has a very practical view of the world of aviation. I recommend him highly.

I was an eternal student pilot, with my own antique aircraft, and Mike and the Sunshine crew got me finished up and I now hold a private pilots license! Mike was a great instructor, super nice to work with, extremely knowledgable, kind and just fun to be with. The online scheduling system was good, and the office ladies were always helpful. Very happy I trained at Sunshine. I will be going back for more.

Took my son there for his flying lessons. He now has his private pilot license. The environment is very friendly and the instructors and staff are very helpful. I would recommend this place if you are interested to learn how to fly.

I have been a pilot for over 40 years. Sunshine Flyers has that “Old School” approach to aviation that reminds you of the challenges we all have as responsible aviators. I live in Redding,Ca but I fly to Auburn for my currency training. Great Group!

I had the pleasure of being checked out by Michael Duncan in their Evektor SportStar and also in their Citabria. He is an excellent instructor, who made the experience very enjoyable and informative. I throughly enjoyed flying both of these airplanes. The scheduling process was extremely easy, and they have good availability of their aircraft.
