About Us
Peter Stanton Riverina Wings Chief FLying Instructor Griffith flight school

Riverina Wings is the newest flight school in the Riverina and was established out of a love of flying.

We offer ab initio training for those who have never flown, conversions to most types of light sport aircraft, Instructor courses, advanced flying courses (all of which are customised to suit your individual needs) and we are an RAAus approved Flight Training Facility situated in Griffith. Griffith is a major regional city in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area that is in the north-western part of the Riverina region of NSW, known commonly as the food bowl of Australia. As Griffith Airport is situated outside controlled airspace, no time is wasted obtaining taxi and airways clearances. This allows the student more time to enjoy the learning process whilst achieving their goals. Riverina wings offers professional training by dedicated, highly qualified instructors who will tailor your training to suit your individual needs, and schedule.
