About Legend Aviation

(Source: Legend Aviation Website)

Legend Aviation, created by two local Prescott, Arizona residents, based on the belief that “an FBO, built and managed by pilots, would best understand how to support the needs of fellow aviators” opened on January 2, 2008, as Prescott’s first Fixed Base Operation (FBO) in the airport’s storied nearly 90-year history. Legend Aviation is able to provide a wide array of services that benefit you, our fellow pilots, and the Prescott community as a whole.

The owners chose the company name, Legend Aviation, because it symbolizes the spirit of aviation past and present. As an example, the newly remodeled FBO terminal building was originally constructed in 1969 as the FAA Flight Service Station, which serviced the vast high desert area of Northern Arizona for many years. Echoes of the Prescott Airport’s origins and aviation history, in general, are displayed by drawings and paintings on the walls throughout the terminal building.  The airport’s original rotating beacon is displayed and memorialized at Legend Aviation commemorating the beacon’s long aviation service in safely guiding pilots to this unique southwestern location.
