✈️ Thinking about learning to fly? A new Private Pilot Ground School with Sweet Aviation begins January 2026 right here at Auburn-DeKalb Executive Airport.

Ground school is where future pilots start: learning weather, navigation, and all the fundamentals that make flying safe and fun. October is the perfect time to start exploring the idea, asking questions, or even dropping by one of our fall events.
