Welcome to our family of aviators! Jeff passed his Sport Pilot checkride out of Lincoln airport with DPE Jim Hensen. Jeff trained out of our Reid-Hillview and plans to take his wife to Half Moon Bay for his first flight with a passenger. Congrats to you and your instructor for making this first checkride a “big, ol’ pass!”

UAV pilot and photographer, Zak Freedman, began Sport Pilot training in Monterey and recently soloed the SportStar out of our Reid-Hillview location. Zak came to us as a drone pilot but seems to have fallen in love with flying. After he finishes his Sport Pilot License, he plans to continue on with his Private Pilot License and possibly more. We tried to warn him – Aviation is Addicting! His instructor Casey did an excellent job teaching him the skills to fly solo and soon pass his checkride. Way to go, Zak & Casey!

News: Champ and Taylorcraft are back!

Feb 23 2013

Hi AeroDynamic Aviators

Both the Champ and Taylorcraft are back on line.

The Champ has had a new radio and intercom installation to replace the one that kept breaking down.

The Taylorcraft has merely been waiting for better weather and its annual inspection.

Where else can you fly a 1945 or 1946 airplane, with a manual “armstrong” starter system, just like your grandfather might have learned to fly in?

They definitely are an acquired taste, but they will help you hone your stick and rudder skills like no other plane.

I have test flown both and they are ready for you!
