With the nearest flight training resources at approximately four or more hours away, there are few options in Western Kansas for additional training or refresher courses, making it difficult for pilots to keep their skills at the optimal level.

The Spencer Flight & Education Center, located at the Scott City Airport in Scott City, KS, offers a long-term, sustainable solution to the need for cost-effective and practical educational and training resources.

Established in memory of the Spencer family, the SFEC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is led by a five-member board. As a way to honor the Spencers’ passion for both aviation as well as education, the SFEC’s mission is to actively promote the safety and success of Western Kansas pilots and passengers by providing a local venue for high-quality flight instruction in addition to various educational programs and resources for individuals of all ages.
