A Word from Our Customers...

"Bergstrom’s is one of the most professional FBOs I have had the pleasure to know. Every aspect of the operation is run in a customer-friendly, open access fashion with an emphasis on quality. The maintainence shop is highly knowledgeable and helpful, whether its an annual or an oil change. They work with you to get the most from your airplane. The rental fleet is diverse and well-maintained, and service is excellent. The instructors are well above the average found at most FBOs. The instructors at Bergstrom’s appear to be sincerely committed to teaching as an important end, not merely the means to an end. They have a depth of knowledge, use a variety of teaching approaches, and work together as a team to support the learning experience. Most importantly, they love flying, and they share that enthusiasm and passion with all their customers.
-- Karin Rodland C-ASEL-I (thanks to Bergstrom’s!)"
