Sanders Aviation

Sanders Aviation was founded in 1996, by Joseph Gordon “Gordo” Sanders, Jr, in Jasper, Alabama, at the Walker County Airport – Bevill Field. Sanders founded the organization with a vision to spread his love of aviation through teaching others to fly; however, that was only the beginning. Through focus, drive, tenacity and perseverance, Sanders was able to expand Sanders Aviation into an all-encompassing mecca for aviation enthusiasts.
