Eat. Sleep. Fly. Repeat.
We are Northern California's premier flight training, maintenance, and aircraft management company. Drop by for a cup of coffee and say hey!
"Safety, integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do"
Those aren't just the words that have been on our front door since we opened in 2008. It's the way we treat people, the way we do business, and the way we fly. We're proud of the contributions our people have made to the aviation community, and we'd be thrilled to have you join us! Our Mach 5 family includes experienced career pilots — fighter pilots, airline captains, and more — some of whom started right here.

Since 1996 I have either trained or rented with almost every FBO at Sacramento Executive, Lincoln and Auburn. Mach 5 is my favorite. Fly safe!"
