"With no prior baseline knowledge of airplanes or flying, I told Joey I wanted him to treat our first lesson as if I had never even sait in an airplane before.  Joey took the flight training at a pace that was comfortable for my learning and I always felt prepared and safe for any situation during the training.  With Joey's background in teaching and knowledge of aviation, he's the perfect flight instructor!"

"Joey Johnson (Dakota Aviation) taught me not only how to love flying, but also how to fly smart, safe, and sure.  I would highly suggest taking this opportunity to learn from an amazing instructor and teacher!"

"Joey believed in me when another flight school didn't.  Joey was able to identify where my weak areas were, provided me with strategies to help me overcome my learning plateau's, and helped me achieve a lifelong dream of becoming a pilot.  I am now working on my instrument rating with Dakota Aviation and plan to achieve all of my ratings with Dakota Aviation!  I couldn't recommend a better flight school in the Sioux Falls area!"
