NEW!!   Piper PA-23 Apache
Most pilots will want to fly the Piper Apache in order to earn a multi-engine rating, while others will simply enjoy gaining time and experience in a large, stable airplane. Our PA-23-160 Apache G is a carefully maintained 1960 edition with several improvements over the initial Apaches, including 160-hp powerplants, dorsal-fin stabilizers, and a one-piece, high-performance windscreen. The plane also features dual alternators and vacuum pumps, another improvement over early models, while our multi-engine training program is designed to enhance the safety that's built in to the plane's several upgrades.

Cessna 172 Skyhawk
The Cessna 172 is the most popular General Aviation airplane in history, and for good reason — with room for four, it's an accommodating aircraft that's great to fly with your friends, your family, or just your golf clubs. This also is an ideal airplane for pilots seeking an Instrument Rating, while beginning students who prefer a larger aircraft often train in the trusty 'Hawk.

Diamond DA20-C1 Eclipse
Here's the plane that really turns heads when it's on the ramp — the Diamond DA20-C1 Eclipse is a state-of-the-art platform with a composite airframe, low profile, and smooth 180-degree canopy for unobstructed views. In fact, the cockpit feels more like a modern sportscar than the typical Cessna or Piper, but don't be fooled — the Eclipse is a training aircraft that's perfect for VFR flying. Combining elements of gliders, taildraggers, and modern tri-gear planes, the Eclipse features broad wings, a T-tail empennage, and a stick-and-rudder layout, and the 125-hp Continental launches the plane just seconds after rotation. If you've been flying Cessnas or Pipers, log some time in the Eclipse and expect to fall in love with flying all over again.

Alarus CH-2000
Those who prefer renting a newer aircraft need look no further than our 2003 Alarus CH-2000. Among the most attractive and versatile new General Aviation airplanes on the market, the Alarus's specifications are as impressive as its tip-up doors and low-wing profile — the wide cabin accommodates two with a 116-hp Lycoming on board to power an airframe/powerplant that weighs less than 1,100 lbs, achieving a 750-fpm climb and 99 kts when cruising. It's also IFR-certified with on-board GPS, making it an ideal trainer for both the Private Certificate and Instrument Rating.

Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee
If you're a fan of low wings, we've got the bird for you — the Piper Cherokee, the airplane that set the standard for all classic Pipers. However, our 1973 "Cruiser" edition is a bit unusual, because it doesn't have a back-seat, making it perfect for a weekend getaway with approx. 300 additional lbs. of useful load, and the 150 hp. Lycoming engine has power to spare. Few General Aviation airplanes have earned as much loyalty over the years as the iconic Cherokee, which is suitable for Private Pilot training and a lifetime of flying thereafter. VFR only.

Aeronca Champion 7EC
Up until the 1960s, wood-and-cloth aircraft like the Aeronca Champion were typical General Aviation planes, and a lot of pilots back then got their first licenses in tandem-seat taildraggers. But with the arrival of aluminum airframes and less-unwieldy tricycle gear platforms, classics such as the "Champ" have become just that — "classics." Some can be spotted at airports on calm, sunny days, while very few FBOs maintain vintage aircraft for rental. We're pleased to offer our impeccably restored Champ as part of our fleet — certified pilots are encouraged to pursue a tailwheel endorsement, while old pros are welcome to drop by for some brush-up work with one of our instructors. VFR only.

Cessna 150
Cessna built thousands of their 150s from 1958 to 1975, making it (and its successor, the 152) one of the most common General Aviation training aircraft in existence. Sure, it's a tad snug in the cockpit, but the majority of student pilots earn their Private Pilot Certificates in this platform, which is renowned for its responsive handling and remarkable stability. The most affordable choice for beginning students, the Cessna 150 is a robust trainer you will fondly remember throughout your flying career. Also a cost-friendly choice for short hops with a friend. VFR only.
