Terrell Aviation – Where History Meets Modern Flight Training

Our roots trace back to 1941, when the airport became home to the No. 1 British Flying Training School - the first U.S. site to train Royal Air Force pilots under the Lend-Lease program. Over 2,200 RAF and U.S. Army Air Forces cadets earned their wings here during WWII, forging a legacy of excellence in aviation training. Today, we proudly continue that tradition with friendly, expert instruction in uncongested airspace and reliable Texas weather. Contact us to start your flying journey!

We also take advantage of Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD) and Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) simulators for efficient and cost effective flight training.
