They were very pleasant and sure an excellent flight school. But, they didn't seem to have their heart in it. No prepared materials about the program, impossible to find, and seemed to be lean on their planes and maintenance. Very nice though and a beautiful location. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Sky Rider is a legacy flight school that specializes in creating the next generation of pilot. We offer custom flight instruction for all of our clients to meet your schedule, budget and needs.

History

Established in 2021.

Bored at traditional schools, Owner/Operator David K. started Sky Rider with co-owners Daniela and John because learning in the sky was a lot funner than learning on the ground!

Meet the Business Owner: David K.

Sky Rider Aviation is a family owned and operated Legacy flight school. We serve the Rockport/Corpus Christi area, with students coming from all over the nation. It is our goal not only to provide traditional flight instruction, but to provide a bedrock for the younger generation who increasingly feel disillusioned with their future. To this end we have continued to strive to make aviation approachable and affordable to all. The continued support of Aransas County Airport and the Rockport community has helped make this possible.

This is a large gallery space that showcases a variety of local artists. The upstairs area was dedicated to a specific artist while the downstairs was a mix. All the art was for sale. There was also a small gift shop (saw a few cute items). Finally, a small but lovely sculpture garden outside. As usual, the art is hit or miss (subjective, obviously) but as an artist myself, I always appreciate the promotion of local artists. It really feels like the focus here is to promote artists and encourage artistic community. Love that there is no entrance fee especially since I have two small children so you never know how quickly they'll get bored or cranky. We sometimes have to leave abruptly or move quickly. No fee helps a lot. Staff was very friendly.

You get the gist. Perfect spot to kill 10-20 minutes (maybe longer if you watch the video in the adjacent auditorium but my kids weren't having it). The video was projected on a 3d digital globe which was actually pretty neat. Pay close attention to their hours: Tuesday through Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

One of the jellyfish "hatcheries" was rusted and had a weird film across the metal parts. How is this good? Saw several fish that didn't look too healthy --clamped fins, swimming on their sides. I've had both salt and freshwater aquariums, so know what I'm talking about. I have never been so disappointed. Signs identifying various species were absent or if they were on one of the small screens above were so slow to change you never saw one. The Blue Wrasse wasn't in his tank but other, unidentified were? Where are the interpretive signs? Many tanks or exhibits had NO signs whatsoever. For $50 you'd expect clean, disease free tanks. The signs seemed to concentrate more on rescue than education.
