Congrats going out to Connor Mannix for passing his PPL check ride!!   We've got another private pilot taking to the skies!  Connor's enthusiasm is contagious and it will continue to carry him the rest of the way to his goal as a commercial airline pilot!  Great Job Connor!!

After a boat load of hard work, determination and tenacity, Brenden Georg has passed his check ride and is now our newest Private Pilot!  Congratulations Brenden and good luck to you in your next steps in flying!

Here at GBA, one of our main goals is to inspire students and pilots, young and old to fully enjoy flying in every way!  One of our instructors ran across this quote and passed it on to the rest of us and we are all in agreement of it's truth!  We will tell, explain and demonstrate, but our main goal is to INSPIRE!

Can training be this much fun??   Sure it can!!  This recent double discovery flight to South Lake Tahoe with GBA's newest Certified Flight Instructor, Jeff Sanders, proved to be everything hoped for!   The beauty of Northern Nevada's lakes, mountains and high desert and the fun and excitement of learning to fly has given the flying bug to Jake and Joanna!  Come take a discovery flight of your own and see it all for yourself!

Now that N10446 has given us a few weeks of hard, safe and reliable work, he has earned his stripes!  Students and renters have been very pleased with the GTN 750 and Aspen avionics and also, the horsepower and flight characteristics have been very impressive!   Come over and get checked out in it!

GBA has a new pilot that can legally punch holes in the clouds!   Great job to Vince Griffith for passing his instrument rating check ride!  Good luck on your next steps and as always, Fly Safe!

Congratulations to our new solo student, Greg Olsen!!!   On April 14, Greg did his first solo flight in the traffic pattern at Reno International Airport making 4 successful take offs and landings!  Good luck Greg as you continue on course towards you Private Pilots License!   And thanks to Earl Kessler for his great instruction! 

​Along with our planes, change is in the air.  I'm happy to introduce the new owner of N3034Y, Brenden Georg!  Brenden is one of our students and close to passing his check ride.  Aside from flying the Skycatcher himself, he will be leasing the plane back to GBA for us to continue using as an instructional and rental plane.   Brenden has decided to lower the rental price to a $115 per hour rate which will make this a great and cheaper option to build student hours or take that joy ride around the area!  Stop by and check it out!
