Training Facility Flight School • Helicopter School - International Student Visa No Visa Offered
We are the premier flight school offering one on one instruction to those who want to pursue their Private Pilot License, Commercial Pilot License, Instrument Rating, Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI), and Certificated Flight Instructor Instrument Rating (CFII).

All Flight School prices are strictly based on the FAA minimum requirements.
Stars & Stripes can assist you by arranging financial aid to cover the cost of your flight training. We have also recently teamed up with The College of Southern Nevada and The University of Utah. These partnerships allow you to use your low interest educational loans towards CSN’s or UVU’s Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, and Instrument rating classes, affording college students an ability to earn elective credit towards a degree while flying planes or helicopters at the Stars & Stripes Flight School.
Stars & Stripes is open 7 days a week 365 days a year to accommodate for your life and work schedule. In most cases, you can fly more than once a day. Ground training can be done up to as many hours that you may want or need. The aviation industry is constantly growing, changing, and looking for pilots as there will be a shortage in both helicopter and airplane pilots, due to a large portion of pilots reaching retirement ages.
The process and decision making to become a pilot is a life changing experience and takes a lot of commitment. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a tour of our operations, please call 702-309-2525 and we will be happy to meet with you.
