About Airframe
We want to save general aviation.
Airframe exists to create pilots, keep good airplanes flying, and support the industry that makes flight possible. It started with a simple idea: bridge the tradition of general aviation with the future of aircraft.
Bridging tradition with the future
Airframe aims to improve and modernize general civil aviation through advisory and support services to its members, while creating a new generation of qualified operators.
With over 100 years of collective aviation and federal regulatory experience behind the company, Airframe offers clients excellence in general aviation.
Why we exist
Three things we are here to do
Create pilots
General aviation only survives if new people learn to fly. Our 172M, our instructors, and our packages are built to take someone from a first discovery flight to a certificate without the wait and the crowding of bigger fields.
Keep good airplanes flying
A well-maintained 1975 Cessna 172M is a better trainer than most new airplanes. We keep ours in top condition with our maintenance partner, Airframe Group, and we treat every renter as a steward of the airplane.
Support the industry
The supply chain behind aviation, from parts vendors to mechanics to instructors, is under strain across the country. Airframe consults for owners, operators, and airports, and helps bring the next generation of aircraft to market.
Where we fly
Watts-Woodland Airport, Woodland, California
Our home field is O41, a quiet general aviation airport with the room and the weather to learn. The airplane is N9682H, a 1975 Cessna 172M, available seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
On the field
These are our photos, taken at the airport and in the airplanes we fly. What you see is what you get.
The 172M
A proven, honest airplane, well suited to training flights, proficiency work, and local cross-country flying. Billed on the Hobbs meter, fuel and instructor time not included.
Airframe, LLC has a vision to build a bridge from the current state of the general aviation industry to the future of personal electric aircraft becoming a normal mode of local transportation. This involves inspiring and creating new mechanics, inspectors, and pilots who see the importance of this mission. Their commitment to excellence and integrity is refreshing and has been received with much enthusiasm by the general aviation community.Maj. Gen. Frank Padilla USAF, Ret., Advisor to Airframe
