Our Philosophy
We at Blue Skies Flying Services believe that flying is FUN and we try to teach that way, too. When it stops being fun, we will stop flying. The excitement you feel on the first flight should continue through all your flying. We work to keep that up. At the same time, we approach each flight lesson in a professional manner because the Private Pilot certificate can be the first step toward a career in aviation.
Announcements
After being recognized as a 2017 Top Flight School in the Midwest, we are excited to announce the 2018 AOPA Flight Training Experience Survey is now open!
We are asking for your help to provide an evaluation based on your experience at Blue Skies Flying Services and with your flight instructor. Your responses will help create even better training experiences for other pilots. The AOPA Flight Training Experience Survey is based on extensive research into what makes an optimal flight training experience.
Congratulations to our Member's Accomplishments!

Flight School
Blue Skies Flying Services’ instructors are some of the greatest instructors in the industry. We pride ourselves on making our students feel like part of the Blue Skies family while flight training and continue with us afterwards. While training at Blue Skies Flying Services you will have access to some of the industry’s leading aircrafts. Blue Skies also has a FAA approved simulator that can be used during Instrument training.
Aircraft Rental
Our superbly maintained fleet of aircraft range in complexity from single-engine 2-seat trainers to 6-seat, all-weather, aircrafts. Our aircraft are equipped with state-of-the-art avionic—most planes have GPS, autopilot, are 4/6-place intercoms, and are less than 10 years old.
Aircraft Maintenance
For over 20 years, Blue Skies Flying Services has been in the aircraft maintenance business, servicing single engine, multi-engine, turbo prop, and even turbine aircraft. Need and Annual Inspection, GPS updates, aircraft detail, or just some air in the tires, stop in and see the guys in the maintenance shop. Let Blue Skies handle your aircraft maintenance needs.
