Where are you flying and for what company?

I currently work at IBM's corporate flight department where I fly their S-76D helicopter and Falcon 2000 jet.

What kind of helicopter(s) do you fly?
S-76D Helicopter and Falcon 2000 Jet
What did you like best about MLH?

The professionalism and friendliness. It feels like a family run space. I could talk freely to my superiors (Noah, Cara) anytime. During my whole training, there was never a problem.

Would you recommend Mauna Loa to others?

Absolutely. They were all very professional and gave me a global outcome. MLH offers a variety of flying experience of altitude and terrains. For busy air space training we can go to the HNL base. There I learned to watch for myself and over my students. The photo shoots I did in HNL prepared me for virtually any flying conditions I've encountered since.

Do you have any other comments or suggestions for those just beginning in the industry?

If you are going for a helicopter training, why not do it in a great school that feels like family and in a amazing place such as Hawaii.
