Unless you have the complete flexibility in your schedule and commercial airline travel (around our unpredictable Winter weather) – we typically do not accept reservations from our out-of-state guests past Thanksgiving.  We don’t want you disappointed by spending your precious training time (and travel costs) sitting in a hotel, and watching it snow !

To prioritize our service to the Kitfox-specific community – we no longer have the availability to offer Tailwheel Endorsements to pilots for other Tailwheel airplane types.  In our experienced opinion, we recommend a Tailwheel Endorsement should be earned in the airplane type one aspires to fly. 

With our focus on “Backcountry Training Tours” – and the mission-specific Backcountry-outfitted flight school Kitfoxes – we no longer offer the high wear & tear of Tailwheel Endorsement training.  In addition, due to the advanced nature of Backcountry training, we request you come for training…already tailwheel endorsed and current in a tailwheel airplane. We will then offer the Kitfox-specific “Type” training, followed immediately by the Backcountry training. 

Multiple day, overnight “Backcountry Training Tours” start again when the snow melts off the airstrips, and the Wilderness Lodges re-open in late May – ONE lodge as early as April.  Our 2023 – pre-reserved “Backcountry Training Tour” windows are listed on our web site “Backcountry” page. Please plan ahead as far as possible for 2023 availability.

In regard to sales Demonstration flights… we can continue to offer those – weather permitting of course, and around our overnight Backcountry Training Tour schedule.  Demonstration flights will typically be scheduled for afternoons / early evenings (after the AM training pilots who already fill the schedule).
