A google image search of Rainier Flight Services in Renton looks like a college yearbook of happy graduates and their instructors, launching life-changing careers in aviation
Renton has suffered a very sad academic loss this week. Rainier Flight Services has been training our aspiring aviators in Renton for decades, launching many of our residents into lifetime careers as professional pilots. Their prices were affordable, and Renton’s youth could earn a pilot’s license for the price of a semester or two of college. Formerly (until last week) headquartered in Renton, they are the biggest and most successful flight school in the Northwest, with major satellite schools in Everett, Tacoma, and Auburn.
Their social media pages look like college yearbooks, replete with photos of happy graduates and their instructors at this key moment in their lives. They take pride in keeping their airplanes up-to-date and well maintained, and they fly them to low-population regions to get their time in, producing minimal negative impacts to Renton. The business added to our job and tax base along with training our youth; dozens of instructors and support staff were employed at their headquarters in Renton.
