Mentioned on Uncontrolled Airspace
A & M was mentioned on the Uncontrolled Airspace podcast episode #202 because of the Champ we have for rent. If you've considered getting a certificate but have been worried about passing the medical exam, or if you want to rent a tailwheel aircraft or a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA), the Champ offers you a wonderful opportunity in the Chicago area. It's really fun to fly, and you learn what your feet are for!
September 2010 Flyouts
The next monthly dinner flyout is September 18th to Sheboygan for steaks at Final Approach Steakhouse or to Appleton, WI for Sushi/Japanese steakhouse.
Also in September we'll have our annual flyout to Mackinac Island September 10 - 12. As usual, we'll be staying at the LakeView Hotel.
If you want to try something a little different, there's a Labor Day Weekend flyin at Sidnaw, MI (6Y9) where we camp under the wing. We go up on Friday, 9/3, and generally return Sunday, 9/5. If you didn't get a chance to camp at Oshkosh this year because of the rain, this is your opportunity!
If interested in any of these, put a note on the Flyouts Mailing List and we'll give more information!

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 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!
