WW2 Flight Training

World War II Primary Flight Training offers authentic, hands-on aviation instruction in Oklahoma, recreating the experience of the military’s World War II primary flight training program. Led by instructor Kevin Conner, the program welcomes both beginners seeking their first flight hours and experienced pilots looking to strengthen their skills. Training is available in a vintage Stearman biplane and a Piper J-3 Cub, with instruction tailored to each student’s needs.

Courses focus on fundamental stick-and-rudder skills, airmanship, and safe, confident flying. Students can work toward a tailwheel endorsement and practice techniques including three-point and wheel landings at grass and paved airfields. The Stearman curriculum also includes basic aerobatic maneuvers, with attention to safety and the aircraft’s historical training role. Whether beginning flight training or adding experience in a tailwheel aircraft, participants can learn through practical instruction while connecting with aviation history. The program combines a professional teaching approach with an emphasis on making the experience enjoyable and bringing the challenges of wartime pilot training to life.
