Strategic Training Locations

Spend Your Time Flying,
Not Waiting on the Tarmac

Why pay hourly rates just to sit in traffic? At Hawkins Flight Academy, our primary bases in Shelbyville, TN (KSYI) and Tupelo, MS (KTUP) give you immediate access to uncongested, controlled airspace. You log actual flight hours faster, master diverse terrain, and complete your certification safely without the frustrating delays of busy metro airports.

Accessible Across the Southeast

We proudly train future professional pilots from across the region. Whether you are commuting from Tennessee (Nashville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Columbia, Spring Hill, Tullahoma, Winchester, Lewisburg, Manchester, Fayetteville), Mississippi (Oxford, Starkville, Columbus, New Albany, Amory, Pontotoc, West Point, Fulton, Baldwyn), or Alabama (Huntsville, Florence), our facilities are positioned for your convenience.

Recognized as a 2026 AOPA® Distinguished Flight School, we eliminate financial guesswork. Instead of unpredictable hourly rentals, you get transparent, fixed-price programs. You train in fuel-efficient aircraft equipped with modern Garmin G3X glass cockpits, ensuring you are airline-ready from day one. Plus, with our on-staff mechanics, our modern fleet stays in the air, keeping your schedule on track.
