Akron Airport

This is a fantastic little regional airport in Akron, NY – used mainly for general aviation and flight instruction.
For flight instruction, there are a number of planes for rent here: including an old 47 tailwheel Aeronca Champ (which is a bargain to rent at something like $ 78/​hour) and a Warrior for instrument/​PPL training. This is one of the only places to rent a tailwheel airplane in the WNY area, so if you’re looking to grab a tailwheel endorsement — Akron Airport should be one of your first stops.
They also have hangars for rent here starting at around $ 200/​mo — I have no experience renting one, but call them for availability/​information.
What I love about Akron Airport is the community mindset. You can go into the main office and catch a lot of pilots eager to talk aviation. The mechanic onsite (Kevin Rose) is very friendly and open to helping others learn.
There is also quite a few warbirds at Akron Airport — from a Stearman to other beautiful airplanes. If you’re interested in these airworthy relics of the past (and want to fly them!), look into becoming a member of the Buffalo Heritage Squadron — for a $ 250 annual membership, you can help preserve old airplanes of the past.
If you live nearby, Akron Airport is a great stop for flying lessons and if you’re a pilot and want to fly in and check them out — be sure to do so!
