8 Years of Taking Flight! ✈️

Today marks a major milestone: Pacific Flight Aviation is officially 8 years old! Since our founding on March 1, 2018, we have grown from a single airplane and instructor at John Wayne Airport (KSNA) to a premier flight training school.

Our founder, Wayne Hankins, set out with a mission to exceed expectations and set a new bar for the aviation flight training community. Today, we are proud to be powered by:

* ✈️ 12 High-Quality Airplanes in our fleet.
* 👨‍✈️ 25 Dedicated Professionals on our staff.
* 🛡️ Unwavering commitment to Safety, Quality, Integrity, and Community

To our students, vendors, and partners: thank you for being an essential part of our story.

We’re still climbing, with more staff and aircraft on the horizon!
