Message from the President:

Here at Skys Aircraft we view aviation as a way of life; A way that excites our world.  We are dedicated to helping others to learn and grow in aviation.  It does not matter if you only wish to fly as a hobby or pursue a career we can make it happen for you here.  Learning the discipline required to earn your wings builds maturity at any age.  Pilots are adults in every way.  Our customers and Aero Club members become part of the Skys' Family.  General Aviation is a small community of very special people.  Those who learn and embrace the values required will soon be recognized and become known.  A pilot's license is a ticket to an exciting and satisfying lifestyle.  For almost ten years Skys has made dreams come true.  We have the seasoned instructors, the safe aircraft, the testing center and the plan to help you go up there - if you dare!
