We are pleased to announce the addition of two sought after aircraft to our fleet - the Cirrus SR22 and the Cessna 172S.
The Cirrus SR22 is a highly desirable 4 place
aircraft that travels at about 185 knots. It is fun to fly and is the only plane in the fleet to feature the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Don't tell anyone,
but this is the aircraft flown by two very famous pilots . . . Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!
The Cessna 172S is also a highly requested 4 place aircraft and travels at approximately 130 knots. It is fun to fly and given the high wings, offers a non-restricted
view of the terrain below!
We welcome you to join the club where these two fantastic planes will be at your beck and call.
