Flight Training
“Windy City Aviation was created so I could share my passion for adventure and freedom with others. As a pilot and aircraft owner, my family and friends have been able to explore places and experiences together that could only be done by flying ourselves.”
Sharing Our Passion
Teaching people to fly safely is the core of what we do at Windy City Aviation. From teenagers pursuing a passion that may grow into a profession to parents looking to ease the family commute to a vacation home, we want to share our passion for aviation with you.
