BEST FLIGHT SCHOOL 2014 PARAGON FLIGHT FLORIDA FLIGHT SCHOOL LIVES UP TO ITS NAME ยป Story and photos by Mark Twombly IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY MORNING at Page Field in Fort Myers, Florida, and the office at Paragon Flight is crowded with young flight instructors. Nothing unusual about that-the best flying is done early in the morning when the Southwest Florida heat hasn't yet ignited and the attendant bumpy thermals haven't started to pop. What is unusual is that no students are to be seen meticulously preflighting any of the school's fleet of training airplanes. That won't happen until 8 a.m, after the school's monthly staff meeting. Successfully herding a dozen young flight instructors into the office for an early morning meeting before tackling a long day of instructing is indicative of why Paragon Flight now proudly displays an impressive metal sculpture proclaiming it as AOPA's Best Flight School for 2014.
