Six airplanes, one flight line. From a two-seat sport trainer to a turbocharged, parachute-equipped four-seater and a twin, every stage of your flying career lives on the same ramp — flown daily, maintained in-house, and taught by instructors who fly them for a living.

View aircraft →Most schools hand you off to a different airport the moment you outgrow the trainer. Here, every rating from your first lesson to a multi-engine checkride is flown from the same hangar — so nothing about your training ever starts over.
Start in the Skycatcher, Warrior, or DA20 for your Sport or Private certificate — light, honest airplanes that reward good habits.
Move up to the 200-hp Arrow for complex time and your Commercial, then the Seminole for the multi-engine rating airlines expect.
Transition into the turbocharged SR22 with glass avionics and a whole-airframe parachute — the airplane many owners fly for real.

Every rung up the fleet adds speed, systems, and capability — a natural progression from first solo to cross-country flying.
Our fleet does not stop at six airplanes. A full-motion Redbird MCX and a Redbird TD2 let you rehearse emergencies, instrument approaches, and the exact procedures you will fly next — without burning avgas or waiting on weather. Approved simulator hours count toward your certificate, and they make every real lesson go further.
These are not tired rentals. Our aircraft are cared for by our own maintenance team on the field, configured for one job — training — and inspected on a schedule that keeps them dispatch-ready so your lessons actually happen on time.
