Piper Dakota · Flight Instruction · Aircraft Rental
Most flight schools put you in a 172 and call it training. We train you in a real cross-country airplane — because that's the plane you'll actually want to fly.
The Aircraft
The Piper Dakota isn't a training aircraft that happens to be available for rental. It's a capable cross-country machine with real range, real useful load, and the kind of performance that makes four-hour trips feel like what flying should be. We train in it because it produces better pilots — and rent it because it's the plane worth renting.
Flight Instruction
PPL and Instrument Rating programs designed to produce capable pilots, not just checkride passers. Serious training in an aircraft that demands your attention from day one.

Your Instructor
Charles is a CFI and CFII with around 400 total hours. VFG exists because there's a better way to train — in an airplane that doesn't let you develop bad habits, with an instructor who takes your progress personally.
