Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
36 years
What is your primary product or service?
Flight training and airplane rental, in a fun, friendly, club environment.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
For as long as I can remember, I've loved airplanes. Being able to get into the "airplane business" has been a dream come true.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
When I learned to fly, I would go to the flight school for my lesson, fly, pay my bill, and go home. I never met another student or pilot. I never met another instructor other than my instructor. Once I got my pilot's license, I had no idea what to do with it. My philosophy is to make the flight training process more social and fun. Our students get plenty of opportunities to meet and fly with other students and pilots throughout their training. Those opportunities continue well after the student gets his/her license through our regularly scheduled club flying events.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have one location, but you never know where we might expand to. Stay tuned.

We have a staff of friendly people who keep things running smoothly on a daily basis.
What are your hours of operation?
We're open 7 days per week from 8am to 5pm. During the summer we expand those hours -- typically to 7am to 7pm Monday through Saturday, and 8 to 5 on Sundays.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
You helped me realize my life long dream of learning to fly.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
- Leonardo da Vinci
