If you are in need of a decent flight school with good airplanes, professional syllabus, and beautiful location, I recommend Palwaukee Flyers at PWK. There's a bunch of schools to pick from up there, and a lot of them are just out for your money (American Flyers). Don't believe the hype about AF or Windy City or anyone else....Palwaukee Flyers is the real deal! Check em out!

I don't know this to be fact, but I was told that you don't have to go to Palwaukee to check them out. You can examine their wreckage all over the Chicagoland area.

You'd better have proof of this slanderous statement. We have ways of finding out who you are, buddy.

Nice to see you on here Jim (owner of PWK flyers) AKA aviation Playboy. The 1st ten hours of your syllabus are sight seeing plus the 6 hrs you do before you even pick an instructor. then when it comes time for them to solo you fly with them and say they need another 10 hrs. My favorite is when you get a rich student in you and larry take him into your offfice and ask them to invest into the company. Accidents, how about the fuel shortage, or the instructor that crashed the plane twice even after every instructor was telling you he could not fly a plane, after his second crash he had to go the ER because he broke down and started screaming. In the end if you're a student I would way my options before making a choice, or visit and just talk to Jim you'll get the picture..

I was under the impression that we were not allowed to sell or advertise on here, you are trying to advertise and sell your product on here.

How is saying "windy city and American Flyers are just out for your money" not slander. Jim you missed your calling, you would have made the greatest airline manager, unfortunately it would have been airline managers that thought that..
 
I love the "good airplanes" comment. A couple of new glass cockpit cessna's don't do anything more than a poor job of masking the evils that lurk beyond the viewing public. Kinda like the hot bartender with the venereal disease...
 
Your posting is rude. Every flight school in the country that has large operations has had incidents. This is a fact. What exactly is your problem. Any person that has actually visited Palwaukee Flyers has a different opinion except this Samballs character who apparetenly worked there and was jaded.
 
Your posting is based on nothing but conjecture. You have not been to Palwaukee Flyers and seen their operation. You have not looked at their logs. I have. You have not. This is a fact. You are a fraud.

Log books are a mess, the DE'S would always say I should not allow your students to take a check ride until these log books are correct

Well if every large school has had an accident what is PF'S problem? PF is far from a large operation. Jaded I actually got a long with the twerp Jim, I kind of felt bad for him, was and em not jaded had a good time there just an awful place.

MOD INPUT:

Hey kids, quit acting like 3rd graders and please try to move it up to the middle school level of insults here. Gesh!

 
It is funny how this "Precious" poster had only five posts and decides to side with Jim out the blue... haha

Anyways, for wreckage
N11239 (Crashed in Buffalo Grove)
N6415X (the Frankeplane crashed at Lake in the Hills)
N5293M (Geared up at Lake in the Hills)
N1478Q (probably not reported, student destroyed an aileron on the ground at RFD and tried to fly it back, nice)
N6704L
N3841T

Some are the "bigger ones" that I can recall off the top of my head, I am sure there are many more.. And there are a lot of flat tires (Signature at PWK kept tabs on how many flat tires they had and the guy told said that they were called out to help out Flyers planes more then anything on the field)
A wheel sperating in two (the two hubs sperated) on a taxiway, airplane hitting hangers (maintenance guys, students, and instructor alike, haha)
And many many more! I just loved/love hearing stories about this place, oh and my sources are quite excellent

Anycase, yes Jim, your place is great to take lessons at, if you are a suicidal emo kid.

This was my favorite one, "Its ok I think I can fly it back". "Is it VFR yeah", "Instructors had to get him on a IFR flight plan". Or maybe TITO's crash in lake in the hills was better either or at Flyers there always was a good story to come along with every accident.

Bravo sir. The "He started it" line is one of the funniest replys I have read in a while!!:beer:
 
Um yeah they are a great place.
Jim where do you plan on going when your building is demolished as part of the south east improvement program.
 
And N6704L did crash on landing at PWK, but I believe that they repaired it, even thought it was very bad. I do have pictures of most of the crashes.

Palwaukee flyers will continue to thrive and grow despite the negative comments of a few former employees who could not handle a strict training environment. For anyone else who wants to grow as a pilot and aviation professional, Palwaukee flyers will always be there.
 
Did this place have a previous name back in the day? I used to work for a place in at PWK that went Tits Up. I don't remember this name, but I remember the place that was the Coex pipeline for a reason. The d-bags that hit the truck at Lake in the Hills, man that takes me back...

Yea you're right. It'll always be around. Just under another alias I guess....

I also think that the "strict training environment" comment beats "HE started it" hands down as the funniest post on flightinfo!
