WHO WE ARE

North Georgia Aviation was founded in 2019 to fill a real gap in Northeast Georgia: a technology-forward, safety-first Part 61 flight training facility that treats every student like they matter.

In 2022, local businessman and aviator Paul Bagley acquired NGAV, deepening its roots in the community and expanding the fleet with the addition of Cirrus Aircraft.

In 2026, ATP-rated jet pilot and experienced aircraft broker Mindy Lindheim acquired NGAV — bringing a lifelong passion for aviation, a sharp eye for operational excellence, and a genuine belief that a flight school should feel like family.

With a background rooted in high-end aviation sales and client relationships, Mindy has sharpened NGAV’s focus on what matters most: safety, hospitality, immaculate facilities, state of the art equipment, and a family culture where every student feels like a priority.
