Is learning to fly a 'bucket list' thing?  Or is it time for a new career?  We can help you with BOTH! Call, text or email us for info on how to schedule a Discovery Flight for $180, where one of our instructors take 2 full hours with you, give you the ground school, and prepare you to fly the plane (we only help with landing, you will be hands-on flying, coached on how to fly the entire flight) They will take the time to answer all your questions, help you decide on how to select your best ground school method, and explain the time commitments and financial requirements to see yourself through to a Private License.

If you have been considering your tailwheel endorsement, here is your chance to do it in a post-WWII golden age of aviation classic. Our 1947 Stinson is one of the lowest time airplanes to be found in the whole country, and has a newly overhauled Franklin engine, Garmin GNS430 GPS navcom plus ADS-B out/in.

SNOW GEESE over the Parma area, a common view every winter.  It is amazing - there are thousands of them!!

A little h0mage to my dad...

Dad was one of the Old Timers, he started his training in 1935, and flew with TWA until retirement in the 80's. At 21, he was hired on to fly DC-3's, and two years later he was a captain, eventually retiring off the B-747.  He was my first instructor! Here are some pieces from his career, his TWA captain wings as well as his WW2 Transport Command captain wings.

Dad's favorite airplane ever (out of SO MANY!) was the Boeing 747, of which he was one of the first to ever get type rated in when it got to the airline fleet, around 1969. The LAST 747 was recently rolled off the line and delivered to Atlas.  The crew did this very special thing - they literally flew the "Queen of the Skies" diagram to honor this amazing airplane.

The ATC wings are of particular historic interest - in 1942 the Army took over TWA's fleet of eight Boeing 307's the first pressurized airliner in history, and put them into service for the war effort.  Dad was one of the few who was certified to fly it, so he earned those ATC wings by being one of the handful of 307 typed crew members.  At the ripe age of 22, he was a Captain on this airliner, flying for the US Army!  They do not make them like that any more...

TO SCHEDULE:

To sign up for a lesson, your instructor will get you signed up on our online scheduling app.  To sign up for a Discovery Flight, you will need to contact us directly, and we will arrange a time that is convenient for you.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

As a courtesy to our instructors and your fellow students, you need to cancel no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. We know life springs things on us and cancellations cannot be avoided, so we rarely exercise the penalty, but failure to cancel more than 48 hours ahead of your scheduled appointment  can result in a one hour charge for the airplane as well as a one hour charge for your instructor.  We are not a huge school with limitless airplanes, so we really appreciate cancellations to be far enough in advance that others can see the new opening and schedule it for themselves.
