JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

We don't want to just 'run a flight school business,' we want to make excellent pilots that will stand the test of time.

Whether you've never flown before or are looking for advanced professional training in pursuit of a Commercial Pilot's License, WFC has a program for you. From short "Discovery" flights to get you used to being in the cockpit, to Certified Instructor courses, we build skills that will last a lifetime. Many of our flight school graduates have gone on to fly for commercial airlines as well as the U.S. Military.

PASSENGERS SAY:

"Really Unique Experience"

Outstanding family run flight school, or just a really unique experience seeing the Williamsburg area from the air if you are visiting. They give great air tours of the Historic Triangle area! I took flight lessons from them, and passed my FAA check ride earning my private pilot’s license. They were always willing to work with my schedule and their instructor staff was excellent. All instructors were highly knowledgeable, patient, and prepare the students very well. A great local business willing to work to meet your individual needs. If you have not seen the area from the air you really are missing something.

"Best Day Ever"

My first time flying a plane to get over my fear of flying and it was a 10/10 experience! David, the instructor, was incredible. Went through all the safety protocols with me and explained each step. Once we got in the air I was able to fly & steer with David’s instruction. Best day ever.

"Exactly The Type of Instructor That I Needed"

I got to finish my PPL at WFC this summer. The scheduling process was an absolute breeze and my instructor, Josh Cardoza was legit. His professionalism coupled with his encouraging and attention to detail mannerisms made me a much better pilot than I could’ve asked for. Josh was exactly the type of instructor that I needed to pass my checkride and I am beyond grateful for him and WFC.

-Josh Martin
"Highlight Of The Trip"

This was my first time on an airplane EVER. We had Ed & he was the coolest. This was a very immersive experience with the pilot letting us be a part of the flight. This was the highlight of the trip! So fun! I wasn’t even nervous when we got in the air. I felt he had complete control. Definitely bringing our kids the next time we are down here!

-Kelsey Ryman
"A Must-Do"

Had an amazing time on the aerial tour! It was a thrill for my kids to see everything from the air that they had learned about on the ground. Our pilot was very knowlegable and enjoys teaching others about aviation. Fascinating to see Colonial Williamsburg and the area from a different perspective - a must-do if you are in the Williamsburg / Jamestown / Yorktown area, and very reasonably priced!

"Fantastic"

A fantastic locally owned flight center that can do it all! Their professional instructors can provide you with a highly memorable air tour of Williamsburg, or turn you into a well trained pilot. All with a fleet of safe and meticulously well maintained aircraft, conveniently located on one of the best little airports on the east coast. There’s even a wonderful airport restaurant to enjoy after a lesson.
