Above and Beyond has been my "home base" for the last five years for everything from instruction to aircraft rental. The aircraft are safe, clean and well maintained, and I've had exceptional experiences with instructors and staff. Above and Beyond operates within Atlantic Aviation's facility at Austin Bergstrom, and the resources are world class -- conference rooms, snack bar, restrooms, and lots of parking. Working with George and Bobbi toward my Open Airplane checkout was fast and simple. CFI Mark Lush arrived early and turned the checkout into a valuable learning experience. Open Airplane checkouts are thorough so bring your A-Game. It's less like a flight review and more like your FAA checkride. The checkout, though, is very rewarding and lets you fly many other places around the state and country. Lots of great things to do and see in Above and Beyond's aircraft -- check out Lockhart for great BBQ (the airport has crew cars) or fly down to Port Aransas and go to the beach. Fredericksburg -- about one hour to the west in a 172 -- has a great diner and hotel on-field.
