When your #wingviewwednesday shots casually have a perfectly snow-capped Mt. Shasta in the background, you know you’re doing something right in life. #mtshasta #whereifly #viewfrommywindow #aviation #cirrus #cirruslife

What’s this? Another student rocking a first solo? Way to go, Alex Bishop!

Congratulations Owen Froehlich for passing your instrument checkride! After working his you-know-what off, he passed his checkride with flying colors. (We promise there’s a giant, exhausted smile under that mask.) We can’t wait to see you take to those cloudy skies and continue your flying journey!

All the way from Missouri, our newest member of the family has arrived! This beautiful SR20 was flown in last week by none other than two of our fantastic instructors, Jimena and Lisa! (Do you feel like you’re watching a game show yet?) These amazing women spent two days flying cross country to add N2881 to our fleet for only $325/hr. And, of course, enjoyed some margaritas on their layover. Give us a call or stop by today to see this beautiful plane!

From Moffett to San Jose, instructor Jimena Kho manages to capture the coolest runway shots in flight

A great day for a first solo Kendra Brassfield handled is like a pro and is on her way to becoming a private pilot. Congrats, Kendra!
