Flying Tigers Flight School at KPUJ

Three beautiful blue AA-1Bs at KPUJ today. Two belong to Flying Tigers Students and one to the owner. That makes a total of 11 Grummans based on the field, 5 owned by students or former students. Come out and see why people that take lessons in our Grumman Travelers and Tiger seem to want to own a Grumman.

Congrats to Flying Tiger’s newest Private Pilot, Cody Sherrill! A lot of hard work went into Cody achieving this worthy goal. Cody is pictured with his Examiner, Brant Robinson. He had to deal with impending weather and excessive heat, but came through with flying colors in Grumman American Traveler, N7182L.
