About Oklahoma Flight Academy

A family legacy, passed forward

Oklahoma Flight Academy was founded on a love of aviation handed down through the Edwards family.

Owner Allan Edwards grew up around airplanes. His father, Gary Edwards, was an aviation engineer and pilot whose legacy — a lifetime of precision, curiosity, and respect for flight — became the foundation this academy is built on.

That inheritance shows up in how we teach. OFA runs a flexible Part 61 program built around one-on-one instruction that adapts to each student’s schedule and pace, rather than forcing everyone through a rigid timeline. For most students, that personal approach means less time and less money spent reaching the same certificate.

We hold ourselves to strict FAA standards — 100-hour inspections, preventative maintenance, and full TSA Alien Flight Student Program compliance — because the responsibility of flight deserves nothing less. Our mission is simple: prepare the next generation of Oklahoma pilots to fly safely, whether for personal freedom or a professional career.

“Help students become capable, confident pilots in an environment that feels disciplined, modern, and personal.”
Operating principles Owasso, OK

  • Safety is the first priority

    Aircraft are maintained to the highest standards with strict FAA 100-hour inspections and preventative maintenance. You receive personal attention from experienced instructors who bring real-world expertise to every lesson.

  • One-on-one, on your schedule

    Our flexible Part 61 curriculum adapts to you. Individualized instruction — not an assembly line — reduces both your training time and your total cost compared with rigid, one-size-fits-all programs.

  • Instructors who fly for a living

    Every instructor holds a Commercial Pilot License, flies limited hours each day so they arrive sharp, and personally endorses your logbook. Several are building toward — or already flying — professional airline careers.

  • Grounded in Oklahoma

    A family-founded academy built on an aviation legacy passed down through generations. We are proud to teach the next generation of Oklahoma pilots — for fun, for freedom, or for a career amid a historic pilot shortage.
