With the steady building expansive fleet of Cessna and Piper aircraft, you will never need to wait on a plane.  High Flight Academy provides Cessna 172, Piper Warrior, Piper Seneca Twin engine aircraft, and a Redbird full-motion flight simulator to ensure our students have the tools needed to succeed. 

We fly out of Pittsburgh-Butler Regional Airport, also known as the Butler County Airport or K. W. Scholter Field.
