Here's a review I found:

http://www.pacificnorthwestflying.com/index.php?topic=12436.0

April 2014 sounds about right when they just completely died. i got my private there 3 years ago and stayed with them till the sad end. i did enjoy it there and i really loved all of my instructors. (well, ok, my very first one was a bit of a flake, but she didn't last long anyway.) they all had great experience and loved to fly themselves so they instilled that in me. unfortunately, like most everyone knows apparently, it really was running on a shoestring for a long time. the original guy was Steve and he musta really loved flying himself because i heard and read gossip that he might have been close to bankruptcy several times. i'm just glad he kept the school going for as long as he did. the trouble only REALLY began when he ended up selling it to that company from Yakima. that's when they changed the name to Wings Flying Club, btw. things totally changed after that. they'd only taken over for a very short time before all of a sudden i just never got any of my emails or phonecalls returned, all under the smokescreen that they were relocating on the field somewhere but were having trouble with permits, etc... this actually started around november 2013. and by the time i actually drove down there to see for myself what was going on, they were just nowhere to be found despite their phone and website and email systems still being up and running and listing their address. so, i did end up calling someone who i trained with at the same time down there who is now a commercial pilot and she confirmed the company was completely dead and gone. WITH the money i had on deposit with them to cover future flights, i might add!!! that was pretty low of them to just not return phonecalls or emails and just run off with everyone's money.

Guess who "that company from Yakima" is?

HORRIBLE!!!! I have been trying to get a refund from you since the beginning of April. We paid you a lot of money back in January for flight lessons and ground school. My son got one flight lesson (also in January) and nothing else since then. You kept postponing the ground school and eventually just stopped returning messages altogether. We contacted you MANY times with no response. How many other people's money have you taken? The complaints keep on coming and you seem to have no concern for your lousy reputation.

Please give us our money back and stop taking money for services you cannot or will not provide.
