Kilo Charlie Aviation’s Beginnings

Robert Renfro, a seasoned commercial and corporate pilot, co-founded Kilo Charlie Aviation in 2020 with Andrew Konicek. Their goal: establish the finest flight school in the world. Together they knew that to do this the industry needed to gather the finest certified flight instructors, the best-qualified aircraft mechanics, and an experienced support crew.

Today, Kilo Charlie Aviation, centrally located in Kansas City, the heart of the Midwest, is regarded as the premier school for all levels of flight training. Flight enthusiasts from all over the world come to Kilo Charlie Aviation to get their private pilot license, obtain their instrument rating, become certified flight instructors, and learn about flight at all levels.

Great guys all around. Knowledgeable at helping me fulfill a dream to fly since I was a teenager (I’m now 46). Every time I fly I think about how awesome it is to be in the air. I’ve flown with Hunter and Ryan. Both are excellent at instructing and I continue to learn a lot with each flight. Keep up the good work!

I can’t say enough good things about Kilo Charlie. I was coming from out of town to complete my private pilot license. So I wanted to get done as quickly as possible so I could get home. Robert and team accommodated my schedule superbly. From zero hours to licensed was less than 4 weeks.

Great Flight School! All instructors care about your success. It feels like a family here. Everyone is helpful. Awesome fleet of planes! Perfect location to learn with ATC, runways, and variety of air traffic. This place will help you stay on a budget and get your license for less than most other places.
