Try a Discovery Flight

Here is your opportunity to find out what flying is like and decide if Sundowner Aviation is where you want to earn your Private Pilot’s License. Our First Flight Special is meant especially for the person considering flight training. It’s only natural to want to try it out first.

When it comes to exhilaration, piloting is way ahead of whatever is in second place. Nothing can compete with the view, the speed and personal accomplishment of flying an airplane…and you can experience that thrill by schduling a discovery flight. We are open 7 days a week, call us at (740) 475-8188 to schedule when you would like to fly.
