Can we fly today?

Rain at the field, though the cloud is high enough to fly. Learn to fly at a quiet county field that's minutes away, not a two-hour drive — so a good afternoon is still worth showing up for.

What we do

Two things, both on the field: we teach people to fly, and we look after aeroplanes.

01

Discovery flights

Your first time at the controls, with an instructor beside you. No experience, no licence and no commitment needed — most people book one to find out whether flying is really for them. It counts toward your training if you carry on.

Book one →

02

Flight training

Primary instruction from your first lesson through to your checkride, with the same instructor the whole way. We fly when the weather says we can, which at a field this close means you can take the good days as they come.

How it works →

03

Aircraft maintenance

An A&P shop on the field for inspections, repairs and avionics work. If your aircraft is based here, it doesn't need to go anywhere to get looked after.

What we handle →

The nearest alternative is two hours away

Most people in this part of Kentucky who want to learn to fly end up driving to Louisville, Lexington or Bowling Green. That's three or four hours in the car for a one-hour lesson — and it's why so many people start training and stop.

Flying from K24 doesn't make the aeroplane cheaper. It makes the hour cheaper, because you're not spending the rest of the day getting to it. And when a lesson gets weathered out — which happens — you've lost twenty minutes, not an afternoon.

Start with one flight

You don't have to decide anything today. Book a discovery flight, sit in the left seat, fly the aeroplane for a while, and see what you think. If you love it, that hour goes in your logbook and counts toward your certificate.
