Poplar Grove Airport - Similar companies

Poplar Grove Airport is rapidly gaining a reputation for being the airport of choice for aviators in the greater Chicago and ... southern Wisconsin area. The reason is very simple. We’ve made a conscious decision to forgo the more traditional approach of trying to attract business aviation customers and focus on creating a fun, friendly, neighborhood atmosphere for people who are in aviation for the pure fun of it. When people fondly talk about the way flying and airports “used to be,” they need look no further than Poplar Grove Airport to get that old familiar smile put back on their face. While we actively promote the fun atmosphere of the past, we haven’t lost sight of the fact our customers expect a high level of modern services. Poplar Grove Airmotive, which shares common ownership with the airport, operates the airport and its various support services. We have a full service FBO with a friendly staff ready to handle your needs. We also have a modern, 20,000+ sq.ft. maintenance facility which includes an airframe shop, engine overhaul shop and accessory overhaul shop. Your first visit to our airport will show you that a modern facility teamed with good, “old fashioned” service is truly a winning combination. We are committed to the future of general aviation, and we help promote that future by operating an active flight school. Our flight school is comprised of 5 full-time, certified instructors and a fleet of well maintained rental aircraft. The airport’s main 4,000-foot hard-surface runway is complemented by two grass runways, both 2,500′ long by 150′ wide, which provide a safe environment for learning flying skills in the aircraft of your choice. Poplar Grove airport is the place to earn your wings. With pristine grass runways as well as the traditional asphalt runways Poplar Grove gives the student a well rounded aviation education experience. Our students learn from highly trained FAA Certified Flight Instructors. read more
