Blue Wings Aviation carries forward the legacy of Woodward Field — where pilots have trained and taken to the skies since World War II. Through our small, family-run team and well-equipped Piper Archer PA-28-180, we offer dependable aircraft rental for Private Pilot training, instrument training, and hour-building, with reliable avionics, strong safety equipment, and honest, personal service that makes every flight feel less like a rental — and more like being part of the story.


All plans include: Garmin GNS 430W, Dual G5s, Bose A20 headsets (available for rent), comprehensive insurance, fuel (wet rate), and routine maintenance coverages.

Check out what our veteran pilots and flight students have to say about us, then make an informed decision.
Tried booking locally and have questions, feedback, or ran into something tricky? We're the founders, and we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're evaluating for recurrent training or just want to chat about your use case, connect with us on a call.

Do I need to be a student at Sun Ray Aviation to rent?
No. While we partner with Sun Ray for instruction, Blue Wings is an independent rental operation. Any qualified pilot who passes our checkout can rent N33483.
Is fuel included in the hourly rate?
Yes, our $170/hr rate is completely wet. We cover all fuel and oil costs.
Can I take the aircraft overnight?
Absolutely. We encourage cross-country exploration. We simply require a daily minimum of 2.0 flight hours for multi-day rentals.
Designed for aviators who need control, consistency, and a meticulously kept aircraft.
