News!
The
2009 Dinner Flyout season is underway! Book your planes now, and join us for a Great Time! The next dinner flyout is June 20
th to
CJ's in Bloomington, IL (KBMI).
The 2009 10th Annual Cavalcade of Planes was a resounding success! The rain held off for the most part, givingonly light coverage, and everyone had a great time! In addition to all the static displays, the parachutists and the water drop on Saturday were big hits!
We also have a great
Destination Flyout Event lineup scheduled for this year! Gaston's White River Resort is reporting full for the June 12th - 15th fly-in, but there are constantly changing room occupancies. The best bet is to post on the
Pilots of America Room Needed thread. See
gastonsflyin for a description on what we're planning to participate in. Please let the front desk know if you're interested in joining us but are worried about accommodations, because we'll work something out. So far we have two planes going, one on Thursday, the other on Saturday.
We offer a full-service FBO with some of the best prices in the Chicago area. Our services include:
- Fuel
- Courtesy car
- Pilot chart and equipment sales
- Weather & Wireless Internet
- Aircraft tiedowns and hangar space
Flight Instruction
Our FAA certified ground and flight instructors can help guide you through the challenges and opportunities in getting your airplane or helicopter pilot certificate, and can help you hone your skills through advanced and proficiency training. You can be a pilot! We offer introductory flights and gift certificates, so if you or a loved one is interested in getting started, stop on by!
Flying Club & Aircraft Rental
Unless you own your own plane, you'll probably need to rent one. We have a flight club that gives preferential rental rates, and also has periodic activities to keep you flying and having fun. Find out more about the cost savings, and see pictures from some of the trips we've taken across the country and in your own backyard.
Charter Flights
Sometimes you aren't interested in flying somewhere yourself, but want to take from one to six people quickly and efficiently, without a long drive or the interminable wait at the larger airports. A&M Aviation is affiliated with Better Living Aviation to help take care of these needs.
Airplane and Helicopter Fleets
For both flight training and subsequent rental, we offer a varied fleet of aircraft from a variety of manufacturers. Whether you're looking for a classic light-sport tail-dragger or a serious twin, we have a plane for you. And if you prefer your wings to be moving above you, we have helicopters, too!
