Rocket City Aviation Services is expanding operations to Pryor Field Regional Airport, bringing new Cirrus aircraft and advanced pilot training opportunities to North Alabama.
The Pryor Field Airport Authority announced the expansion this week, calling it another milestone in the airport’s continued growth as a regional aviation and aerospace hub.
Rocket City Aviation Services operates as a Cirrus Training Center and now has both a Cirrus SR22 and a new Cirrus SR20 based at Pryor Field. Airport officials said the SR20 arrived directly from the showroom floor and will provide pilots and students access to modern flight training technology and safety systems.
Cirrus Aircraft is nationally known for its advanced avionics, safety-focused aircraft systems and standardized flight instruction programs.
“As Pryor Field continues to grow as a gateway for aviation and aerospace in North Alabama, partnerships with companies like Rocket City Aviation Services help fulfill the airport’s mission of connecting businesses, people, and opportunities nationwide,” said Adam Fox. “Their investment brings additional high-quality flight training opportunities to the region while further supporting our vision.”
Airport leaders said the addition strengthens Pryor Field’s growing aviation ecosystem, which already includes aircraft maintenance operations, corporate aviation services, aviation education programs and aerospace-related development.
The airport also hosts aviation events including the North Alabama Airfest.
“We are excited to welcome Rocket City Aviation Services to the airport family,” Fox added. “Their presence complements the momentum we are building at Pryor Field and creates additional opportunities for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and future aviators throughout the region.”
Rocket City Aviation Services said it plans to offer Cirrus flight training and aviation services designed around some of the most technologically advanced aircraft currently used in general aviation.
Located in Limestone County, Pryor Field Regional Airport serves business, military, cargo and private aviation operations across North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley.
