A busy July comes to a close at the Airport as we celebrate flying and pancakes!

First up, congratulations to our amazing students! Riley Johnson soloed on June 4, 2019 in his family’s Cessna 150. Soon after, Rory Johnson soloed on July 23, 2019 also in his family’s Cessna 150. The very next day, Alex Wojciechowski soloed in Northern Air’s Cessna 172.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn to fly, now is the time! Fall ground school starts in September, and the deadline for registration is Aug. 26. Call Northern Air at 208-267-4359 for more info about pilot training and scenic flights!
