Future Navy Pilot!

We are so excited for Connor Mannix and his next adventure! Today he flew his last flight as a civilian pilot here at Great Basin Aviation. He is heading off to Navy OCS on March 24th. It was so special to see him share this memory with his Mom as they got to enjoy a smooth Tahoe scenic flight. Now on to the next incredible step in his military and aviation career! Thank you for being a mentor and inspiration to many pilots here at Great Basin Aviation. "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

Discovery Flight

14 year-old Jazmyn took her Discovery Flight with Danny today! She was all smiles when she got back and is definitely hooked! Her proud Dad was able to tag-a-long in the back seat and watch and listen as his daughter flew them around Reno. A great first lesson! Every expert was once a beginner.

Congratulations to Mike Evans on completing his flight review! Mike took a brief 24 year break from aviation and recently went through rusty pilot training and it all came right back, like riding a bike. We are so happy for Mike!! 🎉 "Lovers of aviation never visit the sky, they return to it."
