Wings Air Charter LLC

Wings Air Charter LLC is an aviation company based at Alexander Field in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. It works from its own hangar and office building on the east side of the airport. It offers flight instruction, aircraft rental, charter, fractional ownership, FAA pilot exams, hangaring and sightseeing rides.

The flight school trains students in a new Cessna 162 Skycatcher and a late model Cessna 172SP. It also offers seaplane training in a Lake Buccaneer. The company states that it is one of only four Cessna Pilot Centers in Wisconsin.

The company says its three instructors have more than 100 years of combined flight experience. Visitors must call for the gate code before they arrive at the airport fence.

The company is an FAA certified air carrier. It operates a twin-engine Cessna 310R based in central Wisconsin. The site says the aircraft flies to over 5,000 airports that airlines do not serve.

The fractional ownership program is for people who fly more than 10 hours a year. A 1/8 share owner is entitled to 10,000 miles of travel per year. The site says the cost is 30 to 40 percent less than charter. A small monthly fee covers insurance, the hangar and the annual inspection.

A FAA designated pilot examiner is on staff. The examiner can issue Sport, Private, Recreational, Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine and SeaPlane certificates. The company also has the largest public use hangar on the field, which can house aircraft from small planes up to most business jets.

The company is FAA approved to give local sightseeing rides, including seaplane rides and aerial photo flights. To get in touch, call or fax 715-424-3737.
