Here is a little known fact. AD UP Flight School originally started as an aerial advertising business, towing banners through out Western MA and CT. This is how it came to be known as AD UP Aviation ("ad"vertising "up" in the sky).
AD UP Aviation is an FAA licensed Part 61 Flight School owned and operated by FAA certified Gold Seal, Master Flight Instructor George Munson. Our small flight school has been providing quality pilot training since 1996. We primarily provide flying lessons for the private pilot license (PPL) and instrument ratings for airplane. Additionally, for those who desire a commercial pilot’s license, instruction is provided for students who provide a complex airplane. Flight reviews, tail wheel endorsements, spin training, unusual attitude recovery, and primary aerobatic instruction are also available in our American Champion Citabria aircraft.
Whether you want to learn to fly for pleasure, or you desire a career in aviation, you have come to the right flight school. Call and schedule your first flying lesson today!
