Ayers Aviation comes from a long line of aviators ranging from Great Uncle Jim whom learned to fly in World War I and later flew air mail across the United States in the 1920’s and 1930’s, to Lt. Colonel Robert Ayers who is currently a C-130 Instructor Pilot in the United States Air Force.
Ayers Aviation strives to make your flying experience safe, fun, and memorable. Learning to fly is very challenging, but it is also very rewarding. We want to make sure that not only do you learn how to fly safely, but also you have fun doing it.
Rule Number 1: Be Safe!
Rule Number 2: Have Fun!
Ayers Aviation takes pride in providing the best possible instruction available. We don’t train students to the bare minimum to only pass tests. We train pilots to be as safe and professional as possible. We go above the bare minimum required and show our students advanced skills and techniques that they will not find at another flight school.
