Group Aviation Experiences

Bring Your Group to STL Flight Training

Create a hands-on aviation experience your group will remember. Explore aircraft, step inside a maintenance hangar, experience flight training, and discover what it's really like to be around airplanes and the people who fly them.

More Than a Field Trip

Get Up Close With Aviation.

Give your group the opportunity to see aviation from the inside. Instead of simply looking at airplanes from a distance, participants can explore aircraft, meet aviation professionals, step inside our maintenance operation, experience flight training, and learn what goes into keeping airplanes flying.

Every group experience is planned around your organization, participants, schedule, and the activities that make the most sense for your event.

Aviation is better when you can experience it.

From first-time visitors to future pilots, our group experiences are designed to make aviation approachable, hands-on, and memorable.
