About Tropicbird Flight Service

Tropicbird Flight Service is an airplane flight school based in the general-aviation area of Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole on Hawaii Island.

Its training supports Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot and flight-instructor work, along with introductory lessons, flight reviews and proficiency training.
