The previously postponed spring session of ground school has been rescheduled with a beginning date of July 21st.  The 11 sessions will be taught on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 – 8:30 pm at WACO Air Museum.

Whether you are young or old, this is a great time to consider general aviation.  Perhaps you have always wanted to fly, but you do not know where to begin. The dream of obtaining your pilot license is possible.  Begin your flight journey at WACO—practically in your own backyard! WACO offers Flight Ground School; if you just can’t get your head out of the clouds, come and begin your journey with us.

Pete is currently Manager of Ground Training at PSA and his teaching style is much appreciated by his students.
