Hello those of you who dream of one day becoming a pilot!

When I talk to people who say that they would really love to one day learn to fly, most of the time their main concern is finances.  Of course it is, FLYING IS EXPENSIVE:(  However, don't let this discourage you...there are SO many resources out there to help you obtain the funding you need to learn to fly & the most awesome thing about it is that a lot of it is FREE MONEY!  All you have to do is show an interest and dedication to flying and we could find you the funding you need. 
I've included some of the sites I found that had scholarships available but when I started looking I couldn't believe how many of them were out there! 
GOOGLE Scholarships for pilots or funding for pilots or for the ladies GOOGLE scholarships for women pilots
It's amazing what out there!  If you don't have access to a computer a lot, please let me help you to find what you need!  (252)489-8165

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Wonderful Experience
​
We did the 20 minute flight with the family. The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was very neat to see Nags Head and the ocean from the air. We will definitely do it again with a longer flight next time we are in the area.."
