Amos Aviation was founded in 2008. Dan Coffey was running a flight school at Rowan County Airport and was in the process of relocating to Florida for a position importing the SportCruiser Aircraft. This created the opportunity to start Amos Aviation. The school started with one SportCruiser that met the new Sport Pilot rules that had just been created in 2004. Since there were not many Light Sport Aircraft in the area we had students coming from as far as Virginia and South Carolina. Sport Pilot is still very popular at the school but some students wanted other types of aircraft so we added a Diamond DA20, Cessna 172, and Cessna 150.
