To whom it may concern:

I recently had a requirement for training in the Cessna 414. Having flown many aircraft over the past forty-eight years and been subjected to all types of training, I was not exactly excited. What a pleasant surprise.

I contacted Mr. Larry York, and received some of the best training of my aviation career from a genuinely nice individual with exceptional knowledge and a real interest in my success. What a pleasant surprise to not be required to deal with an individual's ego or be constantly reminded of my shortcomings. Straightforward, operational based instruction, and always with a smile.

I could recommend no one higher than Larry York, the consumate instructor and gentleman.
