Aero Maintenance Flight Center

Congratulations to Ally on her Multi- Engine rating! We are happy to have another instructor on our team with her MEI! Great job on a lot of hard work and dedication Ally!

Shout out to Sara Baker on achieving her Certified Flight Instructor Certificate! What a beautiful day for a checkride in the PNW!

Congratulations to Carson on his Commercial Pilot's License. Now on to CFI!

Happy Holidays from Aero Maintenance Flight Center!

My hubby and I drove to Mo's today because the weather wasn't good enough to fly. Thank you Jen for the great service!!!
For all of you pilots (and drivers) out there, Mo's in Astoria is a great place to grab some grub. Astoria airport (AST) does have courtesy cars (may need to call ahead). AST airport staff is great! Restrooms and fuel available for pilots.

Congratulations to Issac Axman for achieving his Private Pilot checkride. Thank you Ally for all your efforts as Isaac's CFI.
Perfect fall day for a checkride!
