LeRoy Aviation

Light Sport Aircraft operation based at LeRoy Airport (4AZ9).   We have been involved with light aircraft since the late 70's and opened LeRoy Airport in 1991, starting our flight school in 1993.  Just 80 freeway minutes East of Tucson International Airport and 12 miles South of downtown Willcox, Arizona.  LeRoy Airport is located in the middle of the Sulphur Springs valley, home of wide open airspace for flying safely low and slow while enjoying breathtaking high desert sceneries.  You can go from skimming our huge dry lake to soaring around 8000' peaks in minutes.

We are factory authorized dealers for Flightstar Aircraft, LaMouette and Bautek trike wings.  An authorized repair station for Rotax is on site, however, we only service local engines.  Many light-aviation services are offered in addition.
