Another one! This post goes out to Paden, who just earned his Private Pilot License in N149UD this weekend. Paden, who may be our tallest student to pass a Checkride thus far, successfully battled some stiff and gusty winds to get the job done out there. Never a dull day at PWK. Congratulations Paden!

Paden is also an avid photographer, capturing some of the coolest aviation moments all over Chicagoland and beyond. Check him out! Paden

Please help us give a warm welcome to the newest addition to our training and rental fleet! N50541 is a nimble little Cessna 150J, perfect for learning the basics, time building, or just enjoying the view. The 150 is an excellent option for those seeking flight training at a more economical cost as well, all while sporting a modern, IFR-capable avionics package. Shout out to our stellar in-house maintenance team who poured their hearts and souls into this project to make sure it meets our high safety standards for all of our students, instructors, and renters. Give us a call to get checked out to soak up the rest of the summer flying season in style!

Don’t have to shell out for fuel if you don’t have an engine 🧐

Kidding aside, our beloved N6265T gets a fresh new engine this week, and our maintenance crew made quick work removing the old one from its mounts and connections. We are so thankful to have such a diligent team looking after our fleet each and every day, working to ensure our students, instructors, and renters have access to the safest and best maintained airplanes in Chicagoland!

Yesterday’s puppy run for was pure, adorable chaos — we loved it! 5 dogs, 4 of them puppies just a couple months old, were safely delivered to their foster home in Wisconsin by Dan, Nick and Beth in the Baron. Their last leg of a long trip up from Texas was completed in comfort and style! One of them even got to take a turn sitting up front during cruise (of course acting as pilot monitoring 😉). Never a dull moment!
