Redstone Arsenal Flying Activity is northern Alabama’s premier Flying Club where those individuals lucky enough to be in the authorized patron category can learn to fly or take their already hard-earned rating to a higher level.
Redstone Arsenal's Flying Activity offers safe, low-cost flying lessons, professional Certified Flight Instructors, pilot-related equipment, and services to our patrons.
We have a very low traffic 7,200-foot runway and a manned control tower (daylight hours).
The goal is to be your first choice and to continue our journey to becoming a world-class flying club. We train the best pilots out there by providing the best instructors, facilities, and aircraft in one of the best training environments in the world. We ensure our graduates possess the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to fly and compete in the demanding and ever-changing world of aviation.
Aviators all over the world will tell you that there are two types of people in this world- those who desire to fly and those that do not. If you are in the former category, then you have more than likely had the desire since early childhood. Why not just do it?
