Rogue Aviation offers helicopter training and tours out of Southern California. Come fly with us! We are based out of John Wayne Airport and Long Beach Airport.
Rogue Aviation was born from a desire to see safety, integrity and community placed at the forefront of helicopter flight operations. We are proud to serve the Los Angeles County and Orange County areas and offer helicopter flight training, tours, aerial photography, and cinematography. Rogue Aviation is owned by Matt Barnes, Brian Byfield and Chief Pilot James Baker.
Real students, real stories 🚁
