A free, on-the-ground tour of Desert Wings — the office, the briefing room, the airplanes you'd actually fly. About an hour, no pitch, no flight. Pick a morning on the right and a CFI will get back to you within one business day.

Five stops. About an hour.
Sample timing — we'll match your schedule, mornings or afternoons.
Meet at the office.
Park free out front and come in. A CFI meets you in the lobby — no front-desk runaround, no waiting room. You'll get a one-minute orientation and we get moving.
Tour the office.
Briefing room, classrooms, where students plan flights and study weather. You'll see the syllabus on the wall, the maneuver checklist, and a clear picture of how a lesson is structured from PPL through commercial.
Sit with a CFI.
Ask the questions you came here to ask. How long it really takes. What it really costs. Whether you can fit it around a job. Whether you can finance it. No script, no upsell — just straight answers from someone who's done it.
Walk out to the airplanes.
Stand next to the Archer II and the Seneca II — the two airplanes you'd actually fly. A CFI walks you through what a real preflight looks like, what each instrument does, and what flying these aircraft feels like day to day.
Out the door with a next step.
You leave with a clear path: enroll, book a discovery flight, or go home and think about it. We walk you back to your car. No follow-up calls unless you ask for them.
What we hear most often.
Do I need any flying experience?
No. Career-curious, instrument-rated, and never-flown all welcome. The tour is built for people deciding whether to start.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Partners, parents, friends helping you decide — bring them. We'll size the conversation accordingly.
Is this a flight?
No — your feet stay on the ground the entire time. If you came here looking for a scenic ride or a first-time flight, that's a different visit. Book a discovery flight at /discovery-flight instead.
How long until I could actually start training?
Typical timeline from tour to first lesson is one to three weeks depending on your schedule and ours. Faster if you already have a medical.
What if I want an afternoon tour?
We prefer mornings before the desert heats up, but we'll work around your schedule. Just tell us what works when you book.
Walk-ins welcome.
Stop by the office Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 1 PM. We’ll do our best to show you around on the spot — or grab a slot for a quieter morning later that week.
