Rockwood Aviation is proud to be the southern home for Mike Goulian Aviation

As a base of operations for Mike, RKW will serve two purposes. A training ground for Mike’s own world-famous aerobatic routines, and as a teaching operation to train pilots in tailwheel and upset recovery. These programs are not available just yet, but make sure you follow our social media pages and we'll let you know when these opportunities begin.
