Airplane Fleet

Cessna 152

The Cessna 152 is probably the first airplane for more professional pilots than any other, thanks to the simplicity of its controls and its ease of handling. We maintain a fleet of 43 of these aircraft to ensure steady availability for our students.

Cessna 172

The ultra-versatile 172, a 4-seater big brother to the 152, is the most popular plane ever built. We maintain a fleet of 25 of these craft.

Piper Seminole

By far the most popular twin engine plane in flight training, the Piper Seminole is beloved by generations of pilots for its safety and reliability. We maintain a fleet of 12 of these aircraft for our students’ multi-engine ratings.
