Can't express enough how grateful I am to Black Hound Aviation for giving me the opportunity to earn my private pilot license. I found Black Hound Aviation, and it was a game-changer.

I recently earned my high-performance endorsement in the Piper Lance at Blackhound Aviation, and the experience was great! The instructor, Zach Rowley, was very knowledgeable and friendly- We focused both on hands-on flying and the theoretical knowledge about what tendencies typically come with a high performance plane.
The lance was a joy to fly - smooth, powerful, & well-maintained. Blackhound Aviation provided an excellent & safe environment for learning, and I highly recommend them for anyone looking to expand their experience!

The discovery flight experience with Black Hound was fantastic! I highly recommend anyone thinking about becoming a pilot to take a discovery flight with Elias at Black Hound!

I've just acquired my PPL after having trained for 6 months, and I am so happy that I chose Black Hound Aviation for my flight instruction.
Their fleet of three Cessna 172s (and a Piper Lance for high performance and complex endorsements) are meticulously maintained. Safety is one part of the core values at Black Hound, and every lesson I had with them incorporated this as well as risk management, starting on Day 1. Safety on the ground and in flight is the foundation for each lesson at Black Hound.
My journey has only begun and I still have a lot of learning to do, but I am so happy that my aviation adventures have started at Black Hound.
Great experience,
I earned my private pilot with Black Hound Aviation and I could not be happier with them.
1) Their airplanes are absolutely fantastic. SAFE, reliable, and clean. You can tell they take great pride in the up keep of their aircrafts. This was a huge deciding factor for me to choose to go with them.
2) The support staff and instructors are just as great. I found them easy and fun to learn from. They went the extra mile to ensure I understood the required material and performed the tasks correctly and safely.
I had a great time flying with Michael Hathaway in N172JD! Thank you for your hard work.

I have been flying with BlackHound aviation for over a year and I can say there's truly no one else around who does it quite the same.
The main thing that makes Blackhound stand out is the quality of aircraft. Their quality control allows you peace of mind to focus on your training and do it right. These guys are here to help and will do all they can to make you comfortable in your abilities and realize your potential in the sky.

I had a great time flying with the folks at Black Hound as I worked toward my Private Pilot Certificate in 2024. Zack Rowley was a great instructor. They have an organized operation, are upfront and very communicative throughout the entire process, and keep the aircraft well maintained. It was a joy learning to fly with you guys, thank you!!
