🍁✈️ Fall is one of the BEST times to learn to fly!

Yesterday, Izzy and I took the Cessna 205 north to Mackinac Island (KMCD), and what a flight!

Izzy’s high-performance endorsement gave her the opportunity to put those skills to use in the 205—a six-seat, 260 HP airplane that made quick work of the trip. We made it to Mackinac and back in about five hours, fighting a good headwind on the way up…and, of course, getting a little less tailwind than we deserved on the way home. 😂

The views above the clouds were incredible, and the fall colors are really starting to pop across Northern Michigan. 🍂

Trips like this are a great reminder that flight training isn’t just about earning an endorsement or certificate—it’s about gaining the skills and freedom to actually go places and experience aviation.

🍁 Fall is one of the best times to start flying, and we have several ways to get you in the cockpit:

✈️ Private Pilot Training — Start your journey toward becoming a pilot.

🔥 High-Performance Endorsements — Learn to safely operate aircraft with more than 200 horsepower and expand what you can fly.

🛫 Tailwheel Endorsements — Sharpen your stick-and-rudder skills and experience a whole different side of flying.

☁️ Instrument Training — Build your skills, confidence, and ability to operate safely when the weather isn’t perfect.

Don’t wait until spring to start chasing that flying dream. Come enjoy some of the best flying—and some of the best views—Michigan has to offer!

🌊✈️ What a weekend for seaplane flying!

We had a great time at the 24th Annual Indiana Seaplane Pilots Association Splash-In at Pokagon State Park this past weekend!

There’s just something special about seeing Lake James filled with seaplanes, visiting with fellow pilots, and sharing this unique side of aviation with everyone who came out to watch.

Events like this are a great reminder of just how much fun seaplane flying really is—and if watching all those airplanes take off and land on the water made you think, “I need to try that,” we can help!

🌊 Interested in earning your Single-Engine Sea Add-On and adding a whole new adventure to your pilot certificate?

📞 Give us a call at 866-933-1551 for more information and let’s get you on the water!

🚨 HUGE MILESTONE! ✈️‼️

Help us congratulate Kurt on completing his FIRST SOLO FLIGHT! 🎉👏

There are certain moments in flight training that you never forget, and that first time taking off, flying the airplane, and landing completely on your own is definitely one of them.

Kurt has been working hard toward earning his Private Pilot Certificate, and he has a pretty great goal motivating him — being able to fly himself and his wife back and forth for their adventures in Northern Michigan. ✈️🌲

With his first solo officially in the books, Kurt is moving on to the next stages of his training, including night flying and cross-country training!

Congratulations, Kurt! We’re proud to be a part of your journey and can’t wait to watch you continue progressing toward that pilot certificate. Keep up the great work! 👏

Have you been dreaming about learning to fly but aren’t sure where to start — or even if flying is for you?

Come take an introductory flight with us! You won’t just sit in the passenger seat. With one of our flight instructors by your side, you’ll get hands-on experience and help with the takeoff, basic turns, and landing. It’s a great way to experience flight training firsthand and see if becoming a pilot is right for you.

📞 Call us at 866-933-1551 to schedule your introductory flight and start your own aviation journey!
