US Sport Flight Academy is a branch of US Sport Aircraft. Since 2006, US Sport Aircraft has sold over 600 aircraft, trained over 4000 pilots, and revolutionized flight training in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. And that was just the beginning.

With the tripling of our flight instruction team, addition of dozens of new programs, and acquisition of a brand new flight training facility at Addison Airport, we have created the new benchmark for modern and efficient flight training!

At US Sport Flight Academy you can earn your sport, private, instrument, commercial, multi, CFI, CFII, MEI, and more! And the best part? A guaranteed interview upon completion of our CFI program. You’ll build time as a flight instructor until reaching airline minimums – that’s just 2 years from zero to airline pilot!

A unique feature of flight training at US Sport Flight Academy is that we also offer unconventional programs such as aerobatic training, tail wheel training, upset recovery, and more! You name it, we teach it!

We offer both self-paced and accelerated training at a fraction of the cost of competing flight schools, and you’ll be doing it in brand new to late-model aircraft. Forget those rusty broken down antiques they fly at those other schools! A wide variety of aircraft and advanced glass cockpit avionics for as low as $125 an hour can’t be beat anywhere else – guaranteed!

Our team is here and ready to fly – give us a call at 972-735-9099 and make your dreams become a reality!

Hi everyone! We're glad you're enjoying the video. Many of you have speculated as to why the identity of the airline is concealed. This is to comply with the social media policies of the airline. Please keep your comments respectful, and thanks for watching!

All I wanna say is thanku for all thy effort you put in to train and money you sacrifice so I can get up book a flight and fly to my destination safe and sound! 😊🙏🏾

12 years and he’s still a first officer

Lol I can imagine enjoying the responsibility of having 300+ passengers lives in your hands. I would feel a great deal of pressure to keep them safe and remain vigilant

I flew on "ACME Airlines" a few days ago while I'd love to be an airline pilot the fact is that until I get seniority it would be worse than my job now with worse pay 😣

[davevalens]

That looks more like a boeing 787-8 assuming that you're flying those now since the 747-400s now are all retired.

He forgot to mention that you become much more attractive to girls

Second best job in the world. Best job is no job, aka financial independence.

0:26 and 0:36 Like blurring that out is going to hide the airline it really is.

Flying cool planes is not work. The work is in the details.

[AbhishekGupta-boof]

Can anyone tell me about the working hours as a pilot!!

[logandumont]

I’m thinking of becoming a commercial airline pilot, but I have a couple of visible tattoos on my arm. Do most airlines let you wear long sleeve shirts to cover them up?

i want to become a pilot but it’s terrible for the environment
