P&N Flight and Charter was founded in 1981 by Jan Walton and her late husband, Perry. Countless professional pilots with careers in aviation trained at P&N Flight & Charter and many stop back in to share their fond memories of learning to fly at P&N.  Some will even radio a "hello" from commercial airliners some 35,000 feet above the airport. Learning to fly is something special and learning to fly with great people adds to the magic of your flying experience.  Jan is still an active Certified Flight Instructor at P&N, for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. Cole started flying at P&N as a young student who wanted to do something other than the status-quo of flying for the airlines. 

 

There is an ambitious vision for the future of P&N Flight & Charter. It is an aviation learning destination for aspiring pilots in the Midwest. The goal is to focus on all aspects of general aviation and provide a full range of service. 

 

 

What does this mean for you?  It means everything.  The team is committed to providing an excellent atmosphere for learning everything there is to know about flight, all while remembering to have fun in the process.

 

What makes P&N so unique?
