🇺🇸 Our skies are free because of the brave. ✈️

Every time we take flight, we’re reminded that freedom is never free. Behind every freedom we enjoy are brave men and women who sacrificed so much for our country.
Today and every day, we honor you, we thank you, and we are forever grateful.

Happy Veterans Day! ❤️🤍💙

🎉 TWO FIRST SOLOS. AT THE SAME TIME! 🎉

Today was a pretty special day at Knoxville Aviation - we had two students solo simultaneously, one in an R44 helicopter 🚁 and one in a Cessna 172 ✈️!

We’re proud to offer something truly unique in Central Iowa: the opportunity to train in both rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft and become a dual-rated pilot…all at one flight school.

Whether you’re looking to launch a career in aviation, add another rating, or finally chase that dream of learning to fly, we can help you get there.

🚁 Rotorcraft Training
✈️ Fixed-Wing Training
🎓 Private through Commercial & beyond

Two aircraft. Two solos. Two very proud pilots. One awesome day at Knoxville Aviation!

Ready to elevate your career - or your dream? Come fly with us! 🚁✈️

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001.

We honor the lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and the countless men and women who have served our country in the years since.

For those of us in aviation, September 11 carries a particularly profound meaning. It forever changed our skies, our industry, and our nation.

May we never forget the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the unity our country showed in the days that followed.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Talk about flying with style! ✈️😎

Today we had a very special visitor at the Knoxville Airport. Ami stopped in while ferrying a beautiful 1931 Curtiss Junior from Red Oak, Iowa, to C37 – Brodhead, Wisconsin, where it can be seen at the Ketch Aviation Museum.

Here’s the really cool part- Ami earned her private pilot certificate in this very airplane! Nearly a century old and still turning heads and making memories.

We love shiny new airplanes, but there’s just something magical about hearing the engine of a 95-year-old aircraft taxi onto our ramp. Thanks for letting us be a small part of its journey, Ami!

Blue skies and tailwinds on your trip to Wisconsin, and thank you for bringing a little living aviation history through Knoxville. ✈️
