Leighnor Aircraft

Lance was always around his father’s home-built airplane and did all the jobs, such as cleaning and organizing the hangar, and helping his father maintain the aircraft.

In 1979, Lance earned his Private Pilot Certificate while at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. He followed that certificate up with his Commercial Pilot’s Certificate, Instrument Rating, and Flight Instructor’s Certificate.

Lance started leaseback rental operations in 2011 with N7027F at Executive Airport in Overland Park, Kansas.

From our humble one-aircraft operation, which began in Prescott in early 2017, as 2025 dawns, Leighnor Aircraft has expanded to sixteen aircraft. We have also added a full-motion Redbird FMX flight simulator to our facility at Prescott Regional Airport.
