From Glendale you can see the mountains and the downtown skyline every day. From the cockpit of a training airplane at Van Nuys, you get to fly between them — the Verdugos, the San Gabriels, and the towers of downtown all in a single flight.
About twenty minutes from Glendale, Van Nuys Airport (KVNY) is one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the world. It puts some of the most dramatic scenery in Los Angeles right off your wing — the Verdugo and San Gabriel mountains one direction, the downtown skyline the other.
You will never look at your commute the same way after seeing the whole basin laid out beneath you.
David treated his son to a real flight for his 11th birthday — “he was able to fly the plane himself” — and said they “felt very comfortable through the whole experience.” Birthdays, graduations, or just a long-held dream: our team makes the day safe, easy, and genuinely thrilling.
Many of those first flights turn into training. It all starts with one takeoff.
Every lesson is one-on-one with an FAA-certified flight instructor who flies our aircraft daily — not a rotating cast of strangers. They are calm, patient, and genuinely good at turning a nervous first-timer into a confident pilot, which is exactly why our reviews mention them by name again and again.
Real students, real first flights, real ratings — straight from Google and Yelp.
The fastest way to know if the left seat is for you is to stand on the flight line. Book a free consultation — or reach us whichever way you like.
Tour the school, meet your instructors, sit in the cockpit, and leave with a personal training plan and exact pricing. Your Discovery Flight fee is credited toward training when you enroll within 24 hours.
One minute, a few details, fast answers from a real person on our team.
