Northern Oklahoma Flight Academy

Northern Oklahoma Flight Academy This is a 1 wk aviation day camp for students going into 6-12. See posts for current one. The pictures on this page show some of them.

This is a one-week aerospace day camp for middle school and high school students and is held at the Ponca City, Ok regional Airport the middle week of June. Emphasis is on learning about aviation and space so that knowledgeable career choices can be made. Activities consist of classes, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises that are fun yet educational. The activities all point toward an eventual

interest in aviation, aerospace, or a related field. Students attend from 8:30 until 3:00 and bring a lunch. Students will get the opportunity for an airplane ride if they desire and if the weather permits. More info and a registration form from Bert at [email protected] 580-762-3794.

Well, its time to announce Northern Oklahoma Flight Academy 2026. It is going to happen.

This year it is slightly changed. No more "going into 6th" grade classes! Instead we have a new middle school class for "going into 7th" and "going into 8th" students called Basic Pilot Training. It is not just PILOT training orientation but that is the emphasis. See the 2 photos called "Class Descriptions" for more info.

The high school age classes are similar to the last couple of years for pilots. A prep class for taking flying lessons meets the week of June 15-19 followed by a Flying Lessons class the week of June 22-26.

For all of these classes we are upgrading our already "excellent" space and airplane flight simulators even more making the flight sims very much like the airplanes our student will fly when taking flying lessons.

To apply: copy and print the "Application for Enrollment" 2026 embedded in the photos. Fill it out, attach the tuition and put it in snail mail no earlier than February 15 and no later than March 15. Class sizes are limited so get yours in FIRST. If you prefer, email me and I will send you a blank application form attached to a return email.

As always, do not hesitate to email or call me with questions. [email protected] 580-716-6443 Bert Blanton

They will say that registration opens February 15, 2026 and closes March 15, 2026 for the 2 high school pilot classes. 1)(APT Airplane Pilot Training) which is a non-flying prep class for actual FLYING LESSONS and 2)AFL (Airplane Flying Lessons) the actual flying lessons.
We are working on the Middle School version of NOFA and are recruiting for qualified staff for this very important version of NOFA. If your student is going to complete 6th-8th grade at the beginning of summer, check back here often for more info. In fact, feel free to email me at blantonb610@gmail to let me know about your student(s) and inquire about the status of MS NOFA.

Well, registration has closed for 2025 flight academy. We will wait a couple of more days for all the mail to arrive and then send postcards out confirming everyone's enrollment. If you are nervous about it, just email me and I will confirm by reply email.

We have had a great response from last year's students wishing to return this year so I hope everyone got in that wanted to.

See you all this summer. We are going to have an exciting and rewarding time. Maybe even just fun.

Feb 29, 2024: Sorry to say the class called APT (Airplane Pilot Training) is now FULL and enrollment is closed in it. Other classes are still open but a couple of them are approaching full., also. You still have until March 15 to apply UNLESS they fill up so get your application in the mail ASAP. Bert.

Registration for summer 2024 is NOW open. Some classes already have students. PLEASE don't wait too long as some may fill up pretty fast. We have limited time and limited room so the classes are mostly pretty small.

We think this Flight Academy will be the best one ever (we always say that and are rarely wrong), so get those applications filled out and in the mail.

If you are the student, bug your parent(s) to do it. If you are the parent(s), bug your student to say they want to come. [email protected] 580-716-6443 (Bert)

There is a typo in page one of the Class Descriptions under Professional Pilot Training. There is the word "Space" that should not be there. Bert
