On Eagle’s Wings
Serving Aircraft, their Owners and their Pilots since
Since 1998, On Eagle’s Wings has offered service and support for aircraft, aircraft owners and their pilots. Our FBO services are designed to provide aircraft solutions for both the private and corporate owner. From refueling to aviation charting to rental car provisions and so much more, On Eagle’s Wings is, in effect, your local concierge, providing services that meet every need of the pilot, his or her aircraft and passengers, extending a superior level of comfort and convenience. (We work to meet even the out-of-the-ordinary needs to ensure your experience is always a pleasurable one) Click Here to learn more about our FBO services.
FLYING LESSONS
We also take pride in introducing the wonderful world of flight to new students. Our flying lessons provide excellent on-site pilot training by certified flight instructors. From comprehensive ground instruction to actual flight time, you’ll learn how to fly an aircraft by performing basic flight maneuvers. You’ll find more information about flying lessons by Clicking Here.
AIRCRAFT RENTAL
On Eagle’s Wings also offers Aircraft Rental. Aircraft rental is a great way to enjoy all the benefits of flying without the ongoing overhead associated with ownership. It’s handy having someone else handle the maintenance and care…and a very cost-effective alternative, too! Click Here to learn more.
MEET THE CREW…
The owners (yes, they’re pilots) and every member of the team at On Eagle’s Wings wants to extend a warm welcome to each and every individual we have the honor of serving. We look forward to seeing you soon.
