About Us

Our Mission is to Provide World-Class & Efficient Training that Prepares the Next Generation of Pilots to Serve as Safe, Responsible, & Professional Aviators.

We are unique and we know it! We are one of the only Flight Schools in America that is fully owned by an airline, Legends Airways.

Legends Airways operates an international cargo airline, utilizing cargo Saab 340B’s. This unique combination provides an advantage over most schools, allowing us to cater training at a professional level from the beginning to prepare students to serve as safe, responsible, and professional pilots. This design also provides a flow-through program for our students to become First Officers within our Air Carrier Operation.

If becoming an airline pilot is your goal, why not start your pilot training at an airline and receive the opportunity to interview for a First Officer position after the completion of your flight training.

If becoming an airline pilot isn't your goal, don't shy away just yet. We have students from all walks of life, with different goals in mind when starting their training. Even if you only want to fly recreationally, you can rest assured that Legends will provide a flight training course paramount to safety and development, that is backed by our industry expertise. We have courses ranging from private pilot all the way to the commercial level.

Professional & Knowledgeable Staff at Every Position

Our team of staff, schedulers, instructors and managers are the best at what they do with the experience and knowledge to back it up. We believe that everyone should have an opportunity to become a pilot and we are committed to making their dreams come true. We have customized programs that will help our students become Legends.
