Future & Current

  • The Spring session of ground school will start April 7th, and run until May 7th of 2025!!

  • March’s student of the month is Jason Pabian!! Jason has been working extremely hard on his instrument rating for the past few months, and just recently hit his 200 hour mark! He has been nothing but dedicated to getting this rating done. Asking all the right questions, and even listening to 17hr long audio books. He has shown major commitment to the UP flying community, is always game to learn something new, and help out fellow pilots. Jason has many favorite flying memories, including taking his wife to Mackinac Island for lunch, his son to Crivitz to fish for the morning, and his daughter to Ashland for a quick breakfast. He also flew to North Central Illinois to see his dad for a weekend. It was his longest trip only a month after receiving his PPL. He planned it unknowingly the same weekend as Oshkosh so “traffic was a blast....” Fun fact about Jason, he has earned several licenses. Planes, trains, and automobiles. He also has a real estate license and a contractor license. Outside of work and flying he is a runner, rides mountain bike enduros, and enjoys spending time exploring the U.P. with his family. Thank you for being such a committed student and great member of the Fresh Coast community.

  • 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!!!
