Additionally, the Cessna 310 twin is back on the line with a price reduction!  Take advantage of this return and pursue your multi-engine or ATP rating!

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 for those who wish the freedom to go anywhere without even needing a runway, we have a number of helicopters, which can land almost anywhere!
