Our Fleet

Our aircraft are more than just tools—they’re a key part of the training experience. At Bird Dog Flight Services, we operate a clean, IFR-equipped fleet of Cessna 172s and a Piper Warrior. These aircraft are meticulously maintained and chosen specifically for their reliability, safety, and training versatility. We take tremendous pride in our maintenance standards and dispatch reliability. With a nearly 100% dispatch rate for all scheduled flights, our students spend more time in the air and less time waiting on squawks or down days. That consistency allows us to deliver better training outcomes on a faster timeline.

Our Aircraft

  • Cessna 172 Skyhawks – IFR-equipped with updated avionics, perfect for both primary and instrument training.
  • Piper Warrior – Low-wing trainer offering a solid platform for cross-country and flight time building.

Maintenance Excellence

All maintenance is performed by FAA-certified mechanics, with aircraft inspected frequently to ensure peak performance and safety. Our team takes a proactive approach—addressing minor items before they become disruptions, and ensuring aircraft are clean, dependable, and mission-ready every time a student shows up to fly.
