What Our Satisfied Trainees and Customers Are Saying
Absolutely awesome experience here. Already had my PPL when I found these guys but renting from this place is always a breeze. Their airplane is a little older, but runs like a top and flies like a champ. Hard to find anything in East Texas that offers the sky to people at a more affordable rate than what you get at East Pine. Highly recommend giving them a shot if you are looking to earn your wings or even just get in the air for a bit. Will definitely be back!!!

I’ve been training with EPA staff for over 6 months and am close to my Private Pilot. Over time I plan to continue here through instrument.
David is professional and looks out for the safety of the pilot. Specifically, he’s interested in you learning how to fly a plane (safely) - not just how to perform a series of actions that lead to flight.
Highly recommend reaching out or calling and seeing if there might be a fit for your aviation journey!

Great company with even better personnel! Would highly recommend East Pine to anyone looking for the highest quality flight training in East Texas. I completed my instrument rating with David and am completely satisfied with the training I received. He is professional and disciplined, yet personable and gentle, all of which are important qualities that separate the top aviation professionals from the average pilot.
