MORE ABOUT MACH 5
Small school. BIG heart.
We are a veteran-owned aviation company dedicated to safety, integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do.
Located on a charming small-town airport in the scenic Sierra Nevada foothills. Conveniently positioned below the snow and above the fog at 1,500 feet in elevation, we’ve been training tomorrow’s aviators with today’s experts for 14 years.
OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Mach 5 is owned and managed by a team of experienced, passionate pilots.

About Dan
Dedicated To Excellence
We are a veteran-owned company and deeply rooted in a tradition of excellence, whether in the military, airlines, or general aviation flying communities. We are proud to continue the legacy of our predecessors in the way we teach our students, maintain our airplanes, and manage our operation. Above all, we are dedicated to safety, integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do.
Community
We are all about our community. The Mach 5 team hosts regular gatherings that bring pilots together to share their passions with each other and the next generation of aviators. We offer safety and training programs, group fly-out adventures, tours of restricted facilities, the chance to give back by volunteering at events that inspire young people, airshows, BBQs and so many other aviation related events, all of which will add to YOUR experience roster, knowledgebase, and list of friends.
