I’ve trained at most, if not all of the surrounding flight schools and found Legacy to be the best one suited for me. Costs were cheaper and Instructors can’t be beat. Syllabus is with Sporty’s, which I also use. People here are friendly and military discounts are available. As a military veteran, I try and support those that support our military brethren.
Since my airplane is housed at KPNE, it is quite convenient for me to have my aircraft and engine maintenance done at the airport. Although I was initially apprehensive when Legacy Aviation opened their maintenance shop, Jim Cherry and his team quickly put me at ease. They communicate exceptionally well and provide me options and recommendations as appropriate. They are always professional, thorough, and safety-oriented. I trust them to maintain my plane, and they’ve earned that trust based on their performance and customer service. I highly recommend the Legacy Aviation Maintenance shop!
Tried their shop for an alternator repair. Quick turnaround and a fair price.
Frankly I had moved my aircraft maintenance off the field after Herb’s passing, since I didn’t know the new FBO, and nobody really reached out to welcome me as a new client. After speaking with Alex repeatedly, and seeing Jim Cherry’s work and dedication, I can now recommend Legacy to others who may have gone elsewhere for aircraft maintenance after Herb Hortman’s passing. Kudos to Jim Cherry and the shop.
Give them a try. They may have gotten off to a slow start, but I believe they have hit their groove. I will be trying their flight instructors shortly and will comment on that as well. So far, A+ in Aircraft Maintenence a fresh new welcoming attitude. 👍👍👍
Great to see the Legacy Aviation ramp teeming with activity! Congrats on the Part 141 accreditation that will allow a career-oriented student pilot to pursue their passion to become a professional pilot. As we all know, the pipeline needs an infusion of new pilots as airlines are seeking to replace an aging pilot population due to retirement. With a very nicely renovated building – outside and inside – and a nice selection of well-maintained airplanes and an enthusiastic group of instructors to choose from, I am glad to see the flight school has a visible footprint in the Philly and South Jersey area. As a renter, I always appreciate the warm welcome from both maintenance folks and office staff (always there to help). Thanks. I look forward to seeing continued success and growth in your flight training and rental operations.
Val and I want you to know how pleased we are with the professional work Jim Cherry did for us when our airplane needed major servicing in July this year.
Jim was a diagnostician, a mechanic, a teacher, a supporter and a counselor. At every stage in the process, he made sure we understood the problems he had found in the engine, what the possible causes were, and what the possible solutions were. He respected our decision on how to proceed.
He consulted with Lycoming and two of our other mechanics, one who did all the warranty work and the normal servicing on our plane in Davis, California, and one in Lincoln, Nebraska, who recently diagnosed a fuel problem and correctly determined that our fuel servo needed servicing.
Both of those mechanics were impressed with Jim’s breadth of knowledge and experience.
After we took delivery of the airplane, it operated beautifully all the way home to California, including no longer being difficult to start the engine.
Jim, thanks again for your help.
I have started flying school here what can I say they are the best. I feel so comfortable taking the classes my instructor James takes the time to make sure I understand everything and is awesome. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to learn to fly.
I’m a student at Legacy Aviation and I’m very pleased with the school and my great instructor. I would definitely recommend this school.
Legacy is a great school to begin your pilot career! They work with you around your schedule to fit what’s best for you. Everybody there is nice and the instructors make you feel comfortable learning and flying.
Great school. Everyone is courteous and helpful. The planes are very well maintained and the instructors are great teachers. Highly recommend this school. It is also at a towered airport so you learn ATC off the bat which is invaluable!
Legacy Aviation has been a great place for me to get my private. Paula, at the front desk, is always helpful and courteous. The management team has just introduced the FSP app, which has been a great tool for both students and instructors to book appointments. Jim works very hard and is a great instructor with thousands of hours of experience. A+.
