Business at the Redbird Skyport, which opened its doors in San Marcos, Texas, last November, is booming, prompting the company to expand its flight-training program. At the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In and Expo this week, Piper president and CEO Simon Caldecott handed over the keys to a Redbird-branded Piper PA-44 Seminole to Redbird’s founder, Jerry Gregoire. The Seminole will be used as part of a new multi-engine curriculum, which will incorporate Redbird’s MCX simulator.
Redbird’s general manager of flight operations Roger Sharp said the school has students who are ready to get into the Seminole once it lands in San Marcos.
