About
In 1985, we set out to achieve one major goal: to offer a flight training solution that ensured the greatest level of safety while providing students with the highest degree of cost effectiveness. We started from humble roots, operating only one airplane and utilizing a scheduling system which consisted of a sign-up sheet in a mailbox. We recognized that in order to reach our goal, we could never spare on maintenance expenses, but frugality in other areas would ensure our ability to offer the lowest prices possible until we could grow our business and enjoy the economies of scale that very few flight schools survive to recognize. This model took discipline, but after experiencing decades of growth and prosperity in the industry, it is clear that it was worth our while. Today we are one of the largest and most respected flight schools in the northeast, with three locations and over forty aircraft; We operate our own maintenance department with over ten full-time airframe and powerplant mechanics. We also employ over forty flight instructors and office staff.
