Our Baylor Aviation Science students aren’t afraid to get wet! 🌊✈️

After earning their Commercial Pilot ratings with us, these students went on to earn their Seaplane Add-on down in Florida! We’re proud of their hard work and their willingness to keep exploring every avenue of aviation.

Way to go, pilots!

From the Flight Line to the Baylor Line ✈️

Our freshmen are out on the flight line learning to fly on the first day of class, before most students even know their way around campus. Come Saturday, they're in green and gold, sprinting onto the field before kickoff with the Baylor Line, the best tradition in college football (U.S. News agrees). After all that, they're grabbing dinner together, building the friend group that gets them through the year.

This is what freshman year looks like in Aviation Sciences at Baylor, ranked No. 9 in the nation for First-Year Experience.

Our CFI students had the opportunity to hear from firefighting pilots from WA and WY on the ramp at Waco Regional Airport, gaining insight into another unique career path within aviation.

Thank you to .aerial.firefighting for taking the time give us a tour and answer our questions!✈️

Experiences like these give our students a broader perspective on the many opportunities available in the aviation industry that we help prepare them for.

We think our fleet speaks for itself. ✈️

With 2019 and newer aircraft, modern avionics, and a clean, uniform fleet, our students train in aircraft that look as good as they fly. Flying 300+ days a year, these airplanes are always ready for the next lesson.

📸 Big thanks to Baylor Alumni Kai Bingham for capturing these photos!
