Not Sure If Flying Is Right for You?
A Discovery Flight is the best way to find out. You will fly alongside one of our instructors, take the controls, and experience what it feels like to pilot an aircraft. It is hands-on, exciting, and designed for beginners. Many of our Private Pilot students began right here and discovered their love for aviation during this first flight.
