Our specialty is advanced-topic flight training.
But we do it all.
Our team of professional flight instructors is here to make your training a safe and enjoyable experience. We have a breadth of experience in all types of aircraft from the venerable Cub to sailplanes, helicopters, seaplanes, multi-engine trainers and the turbine DC-3, unmanned systems, and military strike-fighter jets.
Our primary offerings are tailwheel endorsements and seaplane add-on ratings, with introductory, recurrent, and advanced training in both. We also provide military-to-civilian transitions and private pilot training with rental opportunities in our Piper Warrior.
Spin endorsements, advanced tailwheel, and other customized training available upon request.

We offer training part-time and by appointment only. Due to our growing customer list, full-time jobs, restricted airspace, DPE availability, and other aviation-related challenges, we may not be able to fly with you right away. Please contact us for more information and we will make every effort to accommodate your training needs. Our rates are subject to change.
