Aviation has been in the Leighnor family going back to the 1940's in Kansas. Lance Leighnor's dad and uncles were three Army Air Corps servicemen known as "The Flying Leighnors." In 1946, their passion for flight led them to start a charter service and flight school in Hutchinson, Kansas.
Lance and Debbie carried on the Leighnor Aircraft tradition in Arizona, starting as a one aircraft operation in 2017. Today, they have more than 15 aircraft and 2 locations. Come, soar with us and be a part of our timeless legacy! ✈️
