I did not know a normal person wearing glasses could learn flying when I entered the America as an international student long time ago. Not mention I even told my professor that I wanted to study aerospace engineering (clearly that professor was not a pilot either . So continuously I shut down my childhood dream until… last month. Yes, last month I was finally hit by a rock after so many years!

Suddenly I became very hungry for flying. So I started to look at flight schools. Couple weeks later, I bought my first Flying magazine ever. I saw John and Martha’s ad from the magazine and immediately I went to their website to check out what they offer. I am hooked – they are passionate people about GA and courses offered are not only informative but clear and easy to follow for a non-native English speaker like myself (if I can laugh so can you). Well done!

John and Martha,

A local pilot friend of mine on facebook posted a link today about your recent incident with the police, but after reading through your article on that subject, since I’m a long term pilot wanna be, I decided to learn a little bit more about you and what you do, and I must say that God has indeed blessed both of you with the ability to do what you love to do for a living, and to be so successful at it!

For now, unfortunately, due to a floundering economy which has for some time adversely affected my work (I’m a carpenter by trade), and my wife BJ’s 4 plus years struggle with a terminal liver disease (she’s now in home hospice care and has been given 6 months to live), the only flying I do is with my computer’s x-plane 8 flight sim. Though I believe I’ve learned a great deal from my flight sim experience that should help me when my financial picture finally opens up to enable me to take the flight lessons I desire, my life’s “up in the air,” experience is not behind the controls of an airplane, but dealing with the every day reality of my wife’s failing health, praying daily for her miracle, while cleaning up the mess her failing systems are creating. You are indeed a blessed couple, and if you are ever in the Knoxville, TN area, if we could arrange at least a brief meeting (we live only about 2 miles from a little grass air strip known as Seymour Airpark, (TN20), in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains), that would be wonderful!

God’s continued blessings to you and yours!

I have really enjoyed your courses and now have my commercial multi-engine instrument ratings. I fly my Mooney M20K and do it reasonably well but I would really like help with the autopilot (KFC200). It would really be helpful if you could put together a course on how to make the autopilot reach its full potential. Looking forward to your next course and my next rating.

John and Martha: I just passed my instrument checkride after using your instrument course. I was able to take the instrument checkride in my own airplane (N4114J) after wiring and installing the radio package myself. (certified by A&P and radio shop) I passed my private pilot 15 years and 1400 hours ago using king private pilot and at that time I also used the king sample exams to become qualified to take the written. Everything I have done in the past 20 years has been using king videos and study materials. Thanks again John and Martha. I hear your voices in my head every day! Sincerely, David V. Jackson

Hi John and Martha. I’m currently in training for a commercial license in Kansas. I wanted to say that I think I’ve seen almost all your videos already and found them indispensable and most relaxing way to learn! Thx
