Timothy Shepard: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueThese guys are so awesome !!!!!!! Especially with kids !!!! I’m Glad i chose Horizon Flight school to get my License. There so much i could write !!! But i am very very happy

Rahul Roy: Great folks !

Damien Ramos: Amazing experience thanks to Horizon Aviation and our instructor Jacob.Flying was one of my dream and my wife had the excellent idea to offer me the "Airman’s Package", a full one-hour introductory flight lesson with a Cessna and I really enjoyed it.Jacob has been really professional before, during and after the flight and we really appreciated to talk about the planes and others things during this hour. The communication with the office has been easy and we have to thanks them because we know it's not easy to fill the calendar during this Covid19 period.I totally recommend this company and I hope I would be able to continue the training when we will go back in France. Wish you the best, to you Jacob and the company.

R Diamond: Great time, very smooth flight, friendly staff, excellent pilot, clean facility. Will return.

Christopher Cicchitelli: The best place to learn to fly in the area!

Jamfizzle daParbombdizzle: Steve is great friendly and helpful. Trey and Jacob are fine and professional instructors. Both of the Victoria's are great, the Citabria is not housed in Norwood though. The latest price for the Citabria is $299 an hour at the time of this review.

Amit Dua: Great experience.. Jay is a great instructor

Adam Heroux: Great flight school, highly recommend

Apurva Tripathi: It’s a great school with amazing people. Specially If you are an international student pilot (or want to be one ), they guide you all the way for the process. Plane rental prices is on a bit higher side but they put emphasis on maintenance and safety of the planes that justifies the cost.Any pilot on the east cost will recommend this school due to the good track record they have maintained.

Peter Geller: I worked at East Coast Aero Club last year and I currently rent from them. The entire operation runs like clockwork. Maintenance and dispatch work together to plan future maintenance which means renters and students always have a plane available. If there is ever any issue, dispatch is very quick to make adjustments to resolve the issue.The quality of instructors is also of note. ECAC has a strong team that work together to achieve the common goal of helping students succeed. If one instructor isn’t a fit, it’s easy to find another that does.As an employee and a renter, I am consistently satisfied with the quality and efficiency of this aero club.

AB Mercer: Professional flight training/aircraft kept up to standards. However-It is very clear ECAC has a misogynistic atmosphere, (particularly within management) making it a toxic environment for women.Also, the owner’s callous disregard for anyone but himself is not only strange but sad.Remember: if something feels off to you, it probably is.

Gustavo Herrera: I live 12 minutes away from Beverly Airport, where there are options for learning to fly. But I drive 35-50 minutes to East Coast Aero Club at Hanscom because of the quality of their instructors, the mint condition of the planes, and the transparency of maintenance (there is a board in the office where you can see the maintenance status of each plane), it's a bit pricier than other flight schools, but worth the money. You can learn in old Warrior IIs, or newer Cessnas 172 with the latest avionics. Highly recommended if you want to become a pilot in a safe and professional environment.

Mohammad Matin-Nejad: If you are looking to take flight classes on your own paste and book lessons but have a busy work schedule this place is the right place for you. This is one of the three ECAC locations in the state. The Bedford location is where I was able to take my flight lessons. ECAC is by far one of the best flight schools in the state with very reasonable pricing on rentals.The front desk staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They make you feel welcomed and always greet you with a smile.The schedule although at times can be busy with multiple students flying for the day, once you book your introductory class you can then book your flight lessons online as you wish; with however many hours you would like to book in a week. You can book flights until a month in advance which gives you plenty of time to plan your personal life around the lessons or the lessons around your personal life. The website is super simple and easy to use and is very straight forward.The instructors are all very skilled and experienced and know how to teach and make you feel comfortable with the plane. Once you start your solo flights other instructors look out for you and are always there as a resource if you need anything. As you take more classes you are expected to do more and more hands on while the instructor observe and goes a little less hands on to give you the skills you need to fly the plane. Justine and Sophie were the two instructors I flew with and both were knowledgeable, skilled and very friendly. They both made me feel comfortable learning from them and slowly progressing to my solo flights.The planes are very very very well maintained and although some are a little older, they perform amazingly, and that goes to show the good work of the maintenance department with this club. There is a very organized system for when there is any maintenance issues with the plane. Things get fixed and looked at right away.Overall I have nothing negative to say about this flight school and only all positive things. It takes a lot to be a pilot but this place makes you feel welcomed, comfortable, teaches you, gives you the skills, and makes you a damn good pilot.Highly recommend!!!

E Hazen: Great maintenance shop and flight school! I returned to flying several years ago after a long hiatus. I got a flight review from ECAC and flew their rental planes for several months, then with the able assistance of Mark (the owner) I purchased my own plane and base it at the field. I have all my maintenance done by ECAC and can't say enough about the service. They understand my preferences (airworthy but not necessarily shiny) and have helped me out in a pinch several times.I find both Mark (the owner) and Adam (head of maintenance) to be friendly, helpful and fair.

Jim Thames: Very well run FBO. In-house maintenance ensures all the aircraft are well-maintained and quickly back online. Wide variety of rental aircraft (high wings/low wing, steam/glass) and professional instructors to choose from. Busy class Delta given proximity to Boston, but what better way to be forced to master your radio work.

Nikhil Subedi: Nice and Clear Administration. Will be Starting my Fixed Wing Training Soon.

Alastair Bastian: Great flight school

Patrick Sweeney: Great instructors, short-sighted management.I spent probably close to $25,000 at ECAC finishing my commercial ticket, getting my tailwheel endorsement, taking aerobatic lessons and maintaining my aircraft. Some of the instructors like Marc Nathanson former Air Force instructor are among the best in the world.The owner Mark Holzworth, however is short sighted, difficult to deal with and lacks any fiber of empathy or understanding of his clients. I get the feeling he only cares about money. After all the time and money I spent there I would expect to be given the benefit of the doubt, but I wasn't. I had a problem with a credit card. I live overseas and when they tried to run it, it was locked for fraud reasons. I told ECAC I'd get back to them when I had things sorted. I was clear I would take care of it in the next couple of days. I was going to go fly the next day and found my online account suspended. Unreal. No phone call, no curiosity - just an a-hole maneuver over $300.I won't go back because I don't like dealing with people like him and I'm fearful he may treat his employees or suppliers even worse than he treats clients. Buyer beware.

Richard Sweeney: I am a 67 year old student pilot - ECAC instructors are excellent; knowledgeable, safe and patient - I recently soloed and plan to complete my Private Pilot License this summer....

Philip Greenspun: I learned to fly airplanes here in 2001 and 2002. Then I learned to fly helicopters here. Now I'm an instructor in both airplanes and helicopters. ECAC has been a wonderful community for me and I very much appreciate the maintenance staff that Mark Holzwarth has built up during the past 25+ years.

Natalie Braginsky: I received, as a gift, a Groupon for an introductory helicopter lesson which included an hour of ground instruction and about half an hour of flying with the instructor in a Robinson R44. I hadn't operated any type of aircraft before, and I had a great first experience here. My instructor was professional, competent, and friendly. The reading required to schedule my lesson definitely made the ground lesson easier to understand. The flight was the best part of the experience. It was very easy to feel the helicopter responding to the controls. The cyclic is very sensitive, like the instructor said ("no abrupt control inputs"). I'd love to continue learning here and I would definitely recommend ECAC to anyone interested in learning to fly.

Tyler Ghizzoni: Positive:Professionalism,QualityBest flight school in the Boston area.

Trains2U18: Great instructors and airplanes

Logan Greenlee: Easy Coast Aero is great. The dispatch desk is well run, the line well maintained and the instructors are knowledgeable and want to help you become an excellent pilot. Norwood as a location is excellent though with a few drawbacks such as the overhanging Bravo and the sometimes busy pattern.

Anabella Ribeiro: Awesome flight school. Joseph A. Is a great instructor.

Jamfizzle daParbombdizzle: Manny and David are friendly and helpful. Manny can workout a deal with you if you pay ahead of time. And ask David about his block pricing for the simulator to save money. Part of the instrument proficiency check can be done in the red bird except the landings and the circle to land maneuver. Red bird goes for $90 hour wet, senior instructor is $80. I would buy the 5 hour deal. Very knowledgeable five stars.

Ross R: Easy scheduling with new high quality planes, fair prices, and very kind and helpful staff.

Jeff Hubbard: Jovan and the crew were great. We we able to get all the shots we needed over downtown with the drone and helicopter.

DJ originAL: They treated me like royalty and work was of superior quality.

Celina Doucette: Positive:ValueGreat service! Very pleased with the exterior drone shoot- Melody and Raymond were very helpful along the way. Highly recommend!

Mabel Hardy: DB National has amazing video’s! Very impressive. Their support was great also.

Randy Horn: I work as a realtor and have dynamic marketing needs for my business. Gene and his team helped me on 2 projects most recently- a $2 million dollar listing in the Back Bay and more recently a branding video to market myself. I was very impressed with their versatility for my changing schedule and their efficiency in planning ahead in order to make the day of filming very easy. The drone images captured were unlike any other I've seen in Boston real estate and attention to details with my interview and b-roll left me anxious to see the final results since I knew they got the best shots. I am looking forward to working with Gene's team again soon and appreciate how they communicate effectively to get the job done! Nice work.

Ask Her About Real Estate: Gene and his team are the best! They are so supportive of my business and always come to the table with creative ideas and winning strategies. I love the energy Gene brings and am sure to continue working with DroneBoston in the future!

Christopher Roche: My experience with Drone Boston was spectacular from start to finish. The staff was super responsive, customer friendly, very professional and most importantly highly competent.

Advisors Living: Excellent to work with Drone Boston on RE listings and new construction projects! Great communication, scheduling, and follow-up. Production work superb.

Marcus Walker: Gene has been a critical asset in helping me grow my business. He is an expert in advertising and has an artistic eye for drone videography.

Joe Albano: Gene and his team are the best of the best. They went beyond all of our expectations, and we were blown away by the finished project. The drone video and photography were huge players in having both of our high end unit in Somerville go under contract in a week! The Property Cousins highly suggest using Drone Boston!

Albert Azatyants: Drone Boston is the best in the business. I've now used them 3 times in the past month and plan on doing so going forward. Professional, on time and produce an amazing product. If you are a real estate agent and you want to step your marketing game up I'd suggest you DON'T reach out to them and let me take all your market share! ;)

Live By Leclair & Co: Gene is a Rockstar! He spent over two hours going through Ad management on Facebook and Instagram with me. I am pretty tech savvy so we were able to cover a lot of material and move through things methodically. Gene's knowledge and expertise helped me maximize my marketing dollars by directing my ads to the right audience and not wastefully spending on impressions from people who have no interest in what I am offering. Gene and his team also put together an incredible package of media for Real estate listings with Immersive video tours in different layouts and formats for you to use across your advertising channels! Two Thumbs up for DroneBoston!!

Norman D. Hodson: Getting ready to launch a unique historic mansion in the metro-west – a few interesting challenges and many special requests but Gene and his team were able to accommodate all requests and they put a fabulous video presentation together!

Melissa Mayer: Best drone guy in the business! Gene did the most amazing job on my latest listing and the video is KILLER! He then spent an hour on the phone with me to help me roll it out through all my social media platforms! WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND. On the side he also helped me update my FB Cover video. He is truly creative, attentive and worth every penny!

Jay Kenney: I work as Project Coordinator/Manager for The Galvin Group in Dorchester. We looked long and hard for the right go-to drone photographer in the city to shoot all of our projects. It was a trying experience. But everything changed the minute we switched to Gene and DroneBostonLLC. The perfect combination of quality and price, mixed in with a lot of hard work, Gene runs the number one drone business in the entire city, perhaps State. His project photography, especially construction progression, really put him into another stratosphere from our other experiences. Don't mess around. Go with DroneBoston.

Noelle Salon Veila Pull Thru Hair Extensions: Amazing. A lot about extremely professional service not only does my property look beautiful, but I learned a lot about advertising and marketing my business via Facebook and online. You must check them out

Reda Bennani: Gene is not only knowledgeable about commercial real estate, but he also takes the time to understand your requirements and desired outcomes to turn them into incredible content that will help your business. Gene and his team are very talented and I highly recommend them.

victoria withers: Gene did beautiful drone footage of my Marblehead listing. Very professional, prompt and great to work with in capturing the sellers feel for this Historic area. Highly recommend!
