After a number of inquiries, I settled on Air Orlando Aviation at Orlando Executive Airport (KORL) to rent a new Cessna 172 SP. I'm glad I did. I have rented airplanes in many places and, overall, from the initial contact (we did most of the necessary paperwork in advance) to the CFI who handled my checkout to the line crew people who clean the cockpit windows before almost every flight, Air Orlando is the most well-organized and professionally run organization of it's kind I have come across.

This comment is long overdue. I flew into Orlando Executive for a fuel stop before a trip to the Bahamas in January 2004. What I found was a pilot shop and a staff second to none. Air Orlando by far has the best and most well-equipped pilot shop in the world. Most importantly though, they have a staff of knowledgeable flight instructors that will stop at nothing to see that you are satisfied. Kevin Wilkes helped me enormously with getting myself prepared for the Bahamas trip, finding charts and making sure I knew the ins/outs of Customs. His real world experience with flying to/from the Bahamas was invaluable. Air Orlando is lucky to have a set of instructors like Kevin.

"It took a week to accomplish the "honey do"s and other "catch up items", and now I want to give a pirep on air orlando and their transition training on the SR22. IT'S GREAT! Being a DPE, I wanted to know more about the SR 20 and SR 22 in order to administer a Flight Check. Aw heck, let's tell the truth, I wanted to be put on my son's SR22 insurance policy so I could fly FREE! (Greg Scoggins@Charlotte) I contacted Brandon Bryant at air Orllando and requested the FULL course and got what I asked. I spent 9.7 hrs pushing the wrong buttons at the right time and the right buttons at the wrong time. Brandon is a professional instructor that quickly analyzes his student and provides instruction to accomplish the required learning outcome. The entire staff make you feel that you are a part of the organization, and they appreciate your business. I was on the schedule Fri, Sat, Sun a week ago, so weekend flying is not a problem with them. The facilities are outstanding. A pilot shop with anything you want. They rent multi-engine, single engine, single engine retractable, helicopters, and have a full motion simulator for addition instrument training. If you need any of those services - CHECK OUT air orlando - orlando, FL"

Visited ORL on a commercial x-country and accidentally parked on their ramp instead of the Jet Center next door. To make a long story short, my Katana DA-20 had problems starting and blocked their tie down spot for almost two hours before one of their mechanics spotted a loose ignition wire. During my two hour delay I peeked around and looked at their rental prices and fleet. I was amazed at the surprisingly low prices for such a young fleet of airplanes. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful, offering help and advice during my many failed attempts to restart. The chief pilot came out and offered shelter from the hot sun and his mechanic's help, which ended up being my ticket back home to HWO. Thanks Air Orlando! I wish I remembered the mechanic's name, he was extremely friendly and willing to help, I think it was Nick.

My wife and I rented a C172 SP from you last month so that we could fly to the Bahamas - you may remember talking with us both before and after the trip. I just wanted to write you and tell you again what a great FBO you have there in Orlando. I've never seen such a marvelous fleet nor such a complete flight store. I'm sorry that a facility like yours doesn't exist here in my backyard (Northern Indiana, by the way, in case you want to expand) -- even living in Chicago I didn't find anything close to your shop.

I'll attach a picture of the beautiful water from our trip. We fully intend to come back your way and rent again in the upcoming months. Thanks, also, to Keven Ward, who gave us great attention as well as a very thorough flight and ground check. Keven is a bright young man and is a good representative for Air Orlando.

Thanks again and we'll hopefully see you soon,
