Oakland Flyers is a Part 61 flight training and aircraft rental facility founded in 1989 at Oakland International Airport in the San Francisco Bay Area. Members rent a fleet of Cessna 152s, 172s, and an R182 plus Piper Warrior and Archer aircraft, train on an Elite PI-135 flight simulator, and work with independent CFIs offering Private through Commercial and Flight Instructor certificates.
