Danbury, CT – Epic Flight Academy has opened its 12th FAA-approved Part 141 flight school. It is located in Danbury, Connecticut at the Danbury Municipal Airport (DXR). The school will celebrate with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting on Saturday, October 17th, joined by members of the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce.

Founder and CEO Danny Perna said, “We appreciate the warm welcome in Danbury and the support we’ve received from airport leadership and the city. Our Epic team has done a great job setting up the campus, and we’re already training our first flight students. We look forward to welcoming everyone who wants to learn more about Epic Flight Academy.”

Those attending the ribbon-cutting can tour the facility, meet staff and instructors, experience the flight simulator, and even take a discovery flight in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Epic purchases all training aircraft brand new from the factory.

Epic Flight Academy was founded in 1999. It is the largest FAA Part 141 flight school in the U.S. and also offers Part 147 aircraft mechanic training in Florida and Kentucky.
