Tier-1 Helicopters - Opelika, Alabama

Tier 1 deserves 6 stars but can only do 5 here. I do not give high ratings unless they deserve it, if you know me you understand. These guys always go above and beyond to make the training the best. If you want the best training coupled with real world experience to round out your knowledge base these guys are it. I got my commercial helicopter done with the full support of the staff to make sure it was going to happen. Cannot express my appreciation of these people. So if you are looking for helicopter training, look no further than here.

I am currently in flight training with Tier 1 and the experience has been awesome! Mark and Glen are both wonderful instructors with tons of knowledge and patience! I would highly recommend Tier 1 to anyone interested in learning to fly or just wanting to take a discovery flight around the Auburn/Opelika area. You will not be disappointed!!

South Atlanta Helicopters does not disappoint! Thank you for providing this flight experience in our very own Auburn Regional Airport!
Booking the sunset flight was the perfect way to kick off my Birthday weekend!
I am an Opelika girl and a graduate of Auburn University. It was a must to see the sister cities from the best view ever!
Mark Estrada is an awesome pilot! He is great to work with and he made this experience one to never forget!
My daughter and I had a blast!
I recommend having someone there before and after to take photos/videos.
I am ready to fly again! 🚁🚁🚁

A big thank you to Mark and Glen at Tier-1 for the incredible job you guys do as Instructors. You guys are genuine professionals. I deeply appreciate the expertise you guys bring and the flexibility in scheduling you guys offer me with my crazy military work schedule. Could never have made it off the ground without you guys.

Tier-1 Helicopters is an awesome experience, my wife got me a tour for a Christmas present, a 30 min flight, flew with Mark. You don't realize what is all around us until you see it from the air. Mark is an awesome pilot and it was fun flying with him. I booked an discovery flight and flew with Glen, now the discovery flight is where it's at, after a little ground work, you can experience taking the controls of the helicopter and flying it for a little bit. If you ever want to see Auburn, opelika area from a helicopter, book a flight with Tier-1 you won't be disappointed

Dear Tier-1 Helicopters team,

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for helping me achieve my dream. The exceptional professionalism and care I experienced during my time obtaining my commercial license surpassed all my expectations. I am forever grateful for your support.

A special thank you to my instructor, Mark Estrada. Your patience, expertise, and unwavering encouragement were instrumental in my success. Your belief in me never wavered, even when I doubted myself. I truly couldn't have earned my CPL without you.

I am eager to spread the word about your outstanding company to all my friends. Your commitment to excellence and the personalized treatment I received are unparalleled. I am certain that my friend's decision to join your school is directly attributed to the exceptional experience you provide.

Thank you, Tier-1 Helicopters, from the bottom of my heart.

I had the most exciting experience of flying in a helicopter with the pilot Mark and his amazing teaching and Customer Service attitude. I am so excited to have had my 1st experience in the Auburn airport with a great policy teacher like my instructor Mark.
