What a fantastic experience!!! I recently completed my Private Pilots License in Altus with Keiths Aviation Training. I am pleased to say that every step of the way, I felt incredibly prepared.The instructor is Russ Keith. He is also a current civilian instructor teaching Air Force pilots. He brings all that knowledge and experience when he is training in his Cessna. After much thought, I chose this training program because Russ has a tailwheel aircraft. In the process of getting my PPL, I also received a tailwheel aircraft endorsement. If you are thinking about getting your pilot license or adding a tailwheel endorsement, I cannot say enough good things about this program.Russ has a natural ability to keep you calm and having fun throughout the learning process. If you are still trying to decide if flying is something that you would enjoy, contact Russ and go for a quick discovery flight, you wont regret it!

Great experience flying with Russ Keith in his beautiful Cessna 140! I was in the area for work and have been wanting to fly a Cessna 120/140 for quite some time and discovered Keiths Aviation Training. Russ Keith was incredibly flexible with my schedule as work and weather forced our plans to change multiple times. I already have my Tail Wheel endorsement and fly helicopters for a living, but try to build a little more FW/TW time here and there. I got exactly what I was looking for with Russ and hope that work brings me by his way again so I can spend a bit more time in the pattern in either of his beautiful aircraft.Russ career in multiple airframes and as an experienced instructor was evident before we even got airborne. He was very professional and his instruction was spot on and helped me knock off the rust and improve my tail wheel landings. His pricing was incredibly fair and straightforward.Having wasted time and money at other flight training locations throughout the country on occasion to stay current/proficient (I dont own a plane right now), I can say you will not go wrong training with Russ. Highly Recommend!!

Exceptional pilot training. Mr. Keith is a truly great pilot, and time after time went out of his way to accommodate my training needs. Highly recommend him, his airplanes, and his team of instructors!

Jesse and JS (us J name people stick together haha) really have hit the nail on the Head. Russ has taken me from Start to Finish on my journey to earning my wings as a Private Pilot He lead me on this journey starting out as the instructor of ground school through WOSC to the final lesson prior to my check ride completed 15 months start to finish - an FAA medical issue being the only delay not surprisingly for a 54 year old. Russ has a built in ability to know how to keep you in the game even when your not sure and never once made me feel unsafe or unable to learn and was always respectful and encouraging. His years of experience and enthusiasm for aviation are priceless qualities that he willingly shares. Thank you Russ for a wonderful experience and we will continue to work together on this continuous journey.Thank You Russ,Joe

Jesse said it all in his review. I just got my tailwheel endorsement from Russ and had a great time...almost makes me wish I stuck around Altus longer to fly his other planes and putz around the Midwest!
