About AGL Flight Training
My name is Eliseus Fomenko, and I am a flight instructor and founder of AGL (Above Ground Level) Flight Training. AGL Flight provides flight training at a towered airport in Lincoln, Nebraska, with additional training available in Seward. Students have access to Cessna 172 training aircraft in both Lincoln and Seward.
I founded AGL Flight Training to provide quality and affordable flight instruction and have been providing flight training in Lincoln and Seward for over two years. As of August 2026, I work with 11 active students and have about 1,000 hours of total flight experience, including more than 600 hours of dual instruction given.
AGL Flight Training supports three common training goals: Recreational and personal flying, professional flying career, and aspiring military pilots.
Recreational and Personal Flying
Professional Flying Career
Many people start flight training because flying has always been a personal goal. Others want the freedom to travel with family, plan for future aircraft ownership, or join a local flying club.
AGL Flight Training has helped many local students earn their Private Pilot Certificate with the goal of flying purely for enjoyment. Many of them have joined nearby flying clubs, where costs are shared among members, allowing recreational flying to remain affordable and sustainable long term.
Supporting Future Military Pilots
For those pursuing a military pilot slot, earning a Private Pilot Certificate is one of the most effective ways to strengthen a competitive application.
AGL Flight Training has worked with multiple students locally who trained specifically with military selection in mind. If your goal is to fly and serve our country, AGL Flight Training provides a practical, cost effective way to start that process.
For those pursuing careers in the airlines, corporate aviation, or contract flying, the training path chosen early on can significantly affect overall training costs. Many aspiring professional pilots assume that larger flight schools are the only option, without realizing there are more efficient ways to reach the same goals.
AGL Flight Training provides professional flight instruction from Private Pilot through CFII. In addition to full end to end training, AGL Flight Training has also helped students complete their initial certificates before transitioning to larger flight schools later in their training. This hybrid approach allows pilots to reduce total training costs while still meeting the experience and qualification requirements for professional flying.
College students are able to receive a 10% discount on the instructor rate with proof of current enrollment.
