Comments from recent Ground School Class Attendees:

“ This class was MORE than I expected!  Paul is a walking encyclopedia on DC-3’s and the amount of fascinating information he seems to have at his fingertips is simply amazing.  I think he must live, eat and breathe DC-3’s.  What was particularly great was learning not just how something worked, but also why, and the underlying engineering history behind the aircraft systems…”

“ The training was outstanding!  Between Paul’s excellent instruction and the superb training aids, the material was very easy to understand.  Watching the gear operate and being able to look at real DC-3 components was very helpful…”

“…the classroom setting was great!  I liked the fact that it was actually held right under the aircraft.  That is so different than other Ground School classes I have attended.  There is something unique about being able to look up at that big silver aircraft while learning all about it….”

“…the class content was easy to understand.  Paul did an excellent job.  The presentation of actual engine parts of engine and hydraulics was terrific.  Seeing a diagram of a Stromberg carburetor is nothing compared to picking up the real thing and getting to see how it works, up close and personal…”

“…the high point was the hands-on flight deck experience…..the second highpoint was the walkthrough of the R-1830 engine.  There’s almost zero opportunity to get up close to a large radial engine these days, and everybody loves them.  Paul obviously is an expert and makes the subject come alive!”

“..The class exceeded my expectations is every aspect!  Materials were awesome, visual aids were good and the food was super!  Instruction was top notch!  Best of all was the unfettered access to three aircraft and their flight decks…”

“…you guys don’t charge enough for this class!”

“From my perspective this is the best value in aviation, without exception!”

"Without hesitation I would take more classes and definitely will recommend this class – I already have!”

"The work of Paul's Aerometal team saved our project and turned it from a nightmare to a magnificent adventure. Running seriously behind schedule his team came in and got the plane ready in a stunning 6 weeks. Paul's preventative work en route kept her flying all the way to New Zealand, and finally his mastery in the DC3 cockpit both of the plane and the control towers along the way is surely unequalled..."
