Sporty's has been training and equipping pilots worldwide since 1961, when flight instructor Hal Shevers sold his first product out of the trunk of his car. In the six decades since, we’ve continuously worked to develop the finest training courses and pilot supplies, all backed by fast and friendly service. Throughout that journey, we have partnered with AOPA to make flying safer, easier, and more fun.
Today Sporty's is one of the most respected names in aviation, with corporate activities in every segment of light aircraft from retail to training to maintenance to airport management. Most importantly, our company is still made up of pilots and aviation enthusiasts, just like you.
