The Fleet

Kept to our standards.

Modern Cessna 172s with glass cockpits, GPS, and weekly-deep-cleaned cabins. Soon: the first four BlueJay aircraft from Maloy's production line.

Today's Trainer

Built for both comfort and confidence.

Our Cessna 172 fleet reflects an identity: disciplined, elegant, and ready for any mission. Advanced avionics meet student-friendly design. Each cabin is deep-cleaned weekly, because the manner in which an aircraft is kept tells a student how seriously the work is taken.

  • Advanced GPS with iPad connectivity for real-time weather and traffic
  • Balanced avionics — professional-grade yet intuitive for new students
  • Climate-comfortable cabins with heaters for winter, opening windows for summer
  • Rear seating for a guest or observer on every flight
  • Interiors deep-cleaned weekly — by us, not contracted out
The Difference

Alpha Flight, versus the typical school.

Most flight schools cut corners on the aircraft and the cabin. We do not. Here is the comparison in plain terms.

The Future · 2029

The first four BlueJays from Maloy.

In October 2025, we signed a formal partnership with Maloy Aircraft and committed to taking delivery of the first four BlueJay aircraft off their production line. The BlueJay is the first training aircraft engineered from scratch for the modern commercial pilot pipeline.

  • RED A03 V12 twin-turbocharged powerplant — 500 horsepower, FADEC
  • Tandem seating — inherited from military training, fostering focus
  • Dual Garmin glass cockpits with full IFR capability
  • In-seat parachute systems with optional ejection seats
  • Flight Lead™ training management software included

An Aviator's Word

"The planes are brand new, the scheduling is flexible, and the instructors actually remember your name. I have trained at three schools and this is the first one where I felt like a person, not a number."
