In 2013 we moved to the Goodyear Airport, from Buckeye Airport, to be closer to our students and to provide a quality atmosphere for our students to learn. We offer single-engine and multi-engine flight training for those looking to learn to fly for fun or those wanting to pursue a career in aviation. Plus we also offer multi-engine time building for those looking to build multi-engine time for their careers.
