Peterson AFB Amenities Part 6 - Aero Club

The next part of our series for those of you with an upcoming Colorado Springs Military Relocation and current residents in the area of Peterson AFB Real Estate highlights a little-known service the base provides.

The Peterson AFB Aero Club is one of the coolest (and expensive) services on the base. If you have a current pilot's license, you can rent an aircraft for the day or weekend. And if you don't have license, not to worry, the Aeroclub's got you covered.

You can take classes there to get your pilot's license. Rates are very reasonable (compared to their civilian counterpart.) And once you have your pass, you can get all kinds of add-on ratings like instruments and multi-engine.

Best of all, if you're Active Duty, you can get tuition assistance for part of the training (ground school.) I also have some friends that used their VA benefits to get their training and go on to fly for the airline industries (you'll have to get additional training for that!)
