ABOUT BIRD DOG FLIGHT SERVICES

We started Bird Dog because we knew there had to be a better way to train future pilots. The big-box schools felt rushed and impersonal and College flight programs are not the best fit for all types of learners. We created a school where students could actually enjoy the process of becoming a pilot—and still graduate faster and for less money.

We offer full-service training, from brand-new students to commercial certification. Our team is passionate about flying, but even more passionate about helping our students grow. You’ll see it in how we teach, how we maintain our aircraft, and how we treat you every step of the way.
