About Hesston College Aviation

  • Airport — Located 15 minutes from campus, the Newton City-County Airport (KEWK) exposes students to a wide variety of traffic and serves as a reliever for Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport. There are 30 other airports within 30 miles ranging from 1500 foot grass strips to 10,000 foot airline-served runways. This allows many learning opportunities!
       The Hesston College training facility offers private briefing rooms to meet one-on-one with your instructor. The facility houses five aircraft, a Flight Training Device, and two PC Simulators.
  • Mission — Hesston College Aviation advocates the joy of flight. We teach and model the skills, principles and attitudes of safe, responsible, thoughtful airmanship. We live and work within a community of faith pursuing the college's mission.
