As stated on their web site:

"The mission of Grace Flight of America is to help people in need of free air transportation for medical and humanitarian purposes. It is our goal to remove the transportation burden from patients so they can get to specialized medical treatment not available to them locally and focus on getting well. Many of our patients do not have access to conventional transportation or are too ill to drive or fly commercially. Grace Flight is here to help! Completely free of charge! Grace Flight of America relies completely on volunteer pilots and donations from individuals, foundations, clubs and corporations."

We are fortunate to be able to help in this wonderful cause. Several of our staff are actively envolved in the Volunteer Pilot program for Grace Flight.

Jake graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1971, later earned an MBA, and has nearly 18,000 flying hours gained in 41 years of flying, including 22 great years in the US Air Force, mainly in B-52s. Since retiring from the Air Force, he has flown dental and medical teams into Mexico more than twenty times in the last twenty years. In early 2010 he redirected his efforts and now flies for Angel Flight/Grace Flight, normally taking at least one mission a month. It is a blessing to be able to continue to serve the people of this country by using the talents God has given him. In addition, he still supports mission teams for his church, donates his time to local hospital fundraisers and gives career day presentations in public schools. Since 1986 he has trained about a thousand pilots for FAA certificates, ratings, and endorsements. Some of those people have qualified to be Air Force pilots, two are now U-2 pilots, one just graduated from the Air Force Academy where he was Captain of the cadet flying team, and two are missionary pilots overseas. He is also certified to teach Math in Texas and tutors those looking for help. Besides his wife and granddaughter, I guess you could say service, flying and teaching are his passions!

If you are looking for one of the very best flight instructors in the entire country, then look no further. Drew has instructed for us now for two years, and he is an incredible asset to this operation. When you fly with Drew, you will be flying with someone who is as close to a "natural" pilot as anyone I have ever met. Drew, it is a privilege to have you as part of our team!

Tom graduated from the Air Force Academy several years after Jake and spent 20 years in the Air Force flying fighters and promoting safety. As you might expect, Tom is filled with a love of flying, especially when it is done well and safely, and thoroughly enjoys passing along his many years of experience through flight instruction at Huffman Aviation. By the way, if you want to know who the world's greatest fighter pilot is, just ask him!

Mike comes to us as a long time pilot and flight instructor. His background includes lots of time in the Air Force and on the civilian side assuring the right equipment and capabilities get into the right hands to help defend our nation. With a natural talent for teaching, Mike is an great addition to our team at Huffman Aviation.

Cathy comes to us with a pretty fair background in aviation acquired as she has watched and encouraged her sons through flight training. She is the one you will talk to for scheduling, questions about your account, and most other subjects. In a very real sense, we all work for Cathy, and she keeps things moving. Ask her what she knows about the athletic abilities required for pole vaulting, but only if you have a while to visit!

Roy came to Huffman Aviation as a private pilot and has expanded his knowledge base by adding an Instrument Rating, and both Complex and High Performance endorsements. He now volunteers as a pilot for Grace Flight of America whose mission is to help people in need of air transportation for medical and humanitarian purposes. Roy also serves as our Webmaster when he is not out flying.

Gene has a strong background in Navy flight ops and maintenance, plus significant time in the general aviation industry. Now he is here with us, bringing with him a great work ethic and goal oriented approach to life that is so typical of prior military. What a strong addition he is to our team! When I can find a better A&P I will hire him/her...but I won't find a better one. In the meantime I am glad to have this guy working for us.

Stephen is a graduate of Embry Riddle, and is currently working through the A&P program at Tarrant County College. I brought him on board because he loves to work with people, loves to fly airplanes, and is pretty good at teaching flying. We are glad to have his fresh approach to things, and are enjoying a rewarding relationship with him. You will like him, too, when you get to fly with him. Ask him about mission flying, 'cause that is where I think he wants to be some day.

The Cessna 172 is a well designed all purpose airplane: easy enough to fly that you can learn to fly in one; large enough to fit three normal sized adults with some baggage; fast enough that you prefer to fly instead of drive; more economical than the airlines when more than one person is on board.

The C-182 can take you to higher altitudes, longer distances, faster and further than the smaller models of Cessnas. This particular airplane is exquisitely well equipped for glass panel operations, long cross countries, and high performance training. It has been to the Grand Canyon twice in 2011 and drew high praise for performance and reliability.

NEW! Garmin 430 on board! Our Cherokee, with 180 horsepower, will push you back in your seat when you bring up the throttle for takeoff. And if you like the incredible view of the sky offered by low wing aircraft, you will love this great Piper product. A very stable instrument flying platform, the Hershey Bar wing Cherokee has been known for years as a wonderful cross country and IFR airplane. Come on out and give it a try, we think you will appreciate its fine qualities. It is tough to find another aircraft with this kind of load carrying capacity, range, and good IFR avionics. Whether you want to work on an instrument rating or take a long cross country, or anything in between, this is a superb airplane for the job!

We brought this great little Cessna 150 in to help hold down the cost of flying. This is a good flying machine, now as nicely finished out as the rest of our fleet. Here you have an excellent way to get a Private Pilot Certificate or build your flying experience at a cost much less than you will find elsewhere.

Well, we have done it! We have added a beautiful Arrow to our fleet of available aircraft. There is simply not a better aircraft for Commercial and CFI training, and it is now available here at Huffman Aviation. This Arrow is a straight-forward step up from our Cherokee 180, and we have the instructors to help you make that move. So give us a call and get ready to build your retractable gear time, get your Commercial, earn your CFI, and keep moving up the aviation ladder!

Incredibly nice, stable twin. This is a standard in the industry, well accepted throughout the world.

Additional aircraft available by special arrangement if required for the purposes of earning commercial, dual, high performance, or other ratings.

"I did my Private Pilot with Jake and Drew at Huffman Aviation, and I can't find enough good things to say about them. They worked with my schedule, which tended to be random and challenging to accommodate, but I finished in good time and passed the checkride the first time without a problem. I believe they had me well prepared for the check, and more importantly, for the real world of flying for every day afterwards."

"Huffman aviation was the fourth flight training program I worked with. I moved three times (not recommended) during my training. Jake assessed my prior progress and we worked out a syllabus to finish off my PPL. Splitting time with Jake and Drew allowed more feedback on my flying, as well as more flexibility for my schedule. Their checkride preparation was excellent. I was readier than I thought I was! In the months since my checkride I have moved two times. This has required me to do club checkouts in St. Louis, MO and Fullerton, CA. At the conclusion of each of those checkouts the club CFI’s stated: “you’ve been trained very well”"

"Huffman Aviation was the ideal flight school for me. The entire staff is knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about aviation. Their excitement for flying makes learning a fun experience. All of the aircraft are impeccably maintained, and make you feel confident each time you fly. After completing my Private Pilot training, I felt 100% prepared for my check ride. In reality, the instructors had more than prepared me! I would recommend Huffman Aviation to anyone who wants to build a solid foundation and love for aviation. "

" I had always wanted to fly but probably like most people I never thought I would. At the urging from my girlfriend(wife), I took an introductory flight with Jake and I was hooked. On my first flight Jake showed me that you can actually fly backwards. (you will have to ask them how that’s done) Jake and Drew are both very knowledgeable instructors. One of the things I really appreciated is that whether I was flying with Jake or Drew, they were both on the same page as to what my training that day was. I made my first trip with passengers (my wife, her sister and brother-in-law) after I had received my private pilot certificate and felt completely confident in my abilities and knowledge. I would recommend Huffman Aviation to anyone that would like to learn to fly. I am currently training for my instrument rating with Jake and Drew and after that I’m sure I will find an endorsement or two to add. "
