News: Welcome to another two pilots from Spain!
Feb 19 2011I’d like to extend a warm AeroDynamic welcome to Jose Catalan Soriano and Daniel Tari Fernandez, two pilots from Spain who have come to us to learn the art of tailwheel flying and then spend some time to gain additional experience.
Congratulations to both for earning their tailwheel endorsements, and checking out in a variety of taildraggers already, including the Taylorcraft L-1, Aeronca Champ and Citabria.

Events: $100 off Abrams Aviation Private and Sport Pilot Weekend Ground School
Feb 11 2011
AeroDynamic Aviation hangar, Reid Hillview Airport
I am delighted to announce that we have negotiated a $100 discount for the upcoming intensive weekend Private and Sport Pilot Ground School, on February 26th and 27th.
This school, run by renowned aviation educator Fred Abrams, will prepare you, in just one weekend, to pass your Private or Sport pilot Knowledge Test. Normally $395, mention this blog article or Facebook post and get it for only $295. That includes the FAA Knowledge Test Prep book as well!
Better yet, Fred offers a unique money-back guarantee. If after four hours you do not believe you are getting your money’s worth you can get your fee back, no questions asked.
This school is also ideal for pilots close to their checkride or getting ready for their knowledge test, as a refresher and reminder of the areas needed to pass the tests.
This course will be taught by Fred Abrams himself. Give yourself the best chance to ace your knowledge test, come and learn with the master himself! For more about Fred and Abrams Aviation check out their web site: http://abramsaviation.com/recpvtdescription.aspx
The only things you may need to buy if you don’t have them already, are a chart plotter and a E6B calculator (manual or electronic).
