Adventure Vacations

At it's core, flying is a mode of transportation.  Pilots who have the confidence to use their skills as a means to personal and business trips:

• Are able to justify their hobby.
• Fly more often and enjoy it more.
• Have fewer incidents and are safer.

Aero-Tech has been organizing trips for pilots to exciting vacation destinations since the 1980's.  We package the details like a travel agent.  We put an experienced instructor on board with a small group of students.  We have fun getting there and we have a great vacation.  The economies of the group are a great value   …  and Adventure Vacations:

• Highlights our complex and high-performance fleet to pilots considering rental.  Helps to meet insurance make and model requirements.
• Highlights our instruction standards to students considering training.  We offer so much more than just "FAA minimum standards".
• Builds confidence in newly rated pilots for making long, overnight trips.
• Introduces pilots to pilots who share common interests and hobbies.  Next year, plan a trip of your own with new friends to help with the flying.
• Gets our flight instructors out of the traffic pattern.  Offers job diversity and flying stories!
