Future & Current

  • The Spring session of ground school is underway, and runs until May 7th of 2025!!

  • April’s student of the month is Alex Meredith!! Alex completed his private pilot’s license this past summer and is now working on his instrument rating! Alex is always extremely prepared and has an incredibly vast knowledge of all things aviation. After just a few flights, he was nailing instrument approaches no problem, and will fly through this rating. His mind is one that will be very successful in this field, the way he is able to think and react to situations as a pilot is impressive. His favorite memory is when he flew to Mackinac Island to ride in a horse & buggy and grab some fudge. This photo is of his son Henry and himself flying to KERY for fun. Alex has been working on building his time so he can get his instrument rating done ASAP, and continue on with his ratings, as he wants to be a flight instructor one day! I believe he will be really great at that. Fun fact about Alex, he watches documentaries for fun, mostly about space, archaeology, and aliens. His goal is to be able to become an instructor while continuing his preaching career and TV program he does. As well as spending time with his great family! Keep up the amazing work Alex, you really are going places. 

  • Girls in Aviation day was a HUGE success. Thank you to all that volunteered and sponsored the event. I hope to do this again soon!!!
