Have you always wanted a tail wheel endorsement, spin training, aerobatic training, emergency maneuvers training or just wanted to fly something different and really fun?  Here's your chance!  Our March and April Special was so successful that Red Baron Aviation will be continuing the special rates on our American Champion Super Decathlon through May. Regular rates on the Decathlon are: $165 hr for the aircraft and $65 hr for the instructor. Mention this special and those rates will drop to: $150 hr. for the aircraft and $35 hr. for an instructor. That's a savings of $45 hr.!!!

Book your flight now to ensure you get some time in this awesome airplane before the special expires.

You'll be a better pilot, and have a lot of fun too!
