Vintage warbird to glass-cockpit twin to executive helicopter.
All flyable. All in one working airport hangar.
Aces High Aviation has been operating out of Long Beach Airport (KLGB) since 2010. We are a working flight school with a fleet of fly-able aircraft, FAA-rated pilots on staff, and a large hangar plus controlled ramp access. Production crews use us when they need aircraft that actually run, not props, and a location that already looks like a working airport because it is one.
Real Event We Hosted
Placeholder block, ready for Sam to drop in the details of the real production / event we previously hosted at the hangar. Include a one- or two-sentence description of what we did (aircraft used, ramp access provided, pilots flown, supporting role) and swap the placeholder image on the left for a real production still or behind-the-scenes photo.

P · 01
Interior hangar space at 3501 N Lakewood Blvd that already reads as "aviation" on camera. Stage multiple aircraft, build a set inside, shoot interviews, light the space your way. We coordinate hangar access around our flight school operations.
P · 02
KLGB ramp access for taxiing aircraft into the shot, running engines, repositioning between setups, and shooting against the backdrop of an actual operating Class C airport with live air traffic. Coordinated through us and the airport authority.
P · 03
Approximately fifteen active certified flight instructors and rated pilots. We provide the pilot for any aircraft that needs to start, taxi, run up, reposition, depart, or be flown for the camera. Insured and current. No scrambling to find a pilot.
P · 04
If you need air-to-air work, ground-to-air sequences, or the aircraft actually departing and returning, we plan and brief it with the production's aerial coordinator (or recommend one). All flying is operated by qualified pilots within FAA regulations.
U · 01
Stills, posters, EPK, sponsor placements. Aircraft positioned, lit, and dressed in the hangar or on the ramp. Hours-based booking.
U · 02
Aircraft visibly running, taxiing, doing a run-up, with the pilot in seat (and on camera or out of frame). The shot every aviation scene needs to feel real.
U · 03
Use the hangar interior or the ramp as a working location for dialogue, interviews, music videos, brand films, or scenes that just need to read as "airport" without flying $200k/day at LAX.
Email admin@aceshighaviation.com with the shoot dates, aircraft of interest, the kind of usage (static, taxi, in-flight, aerial), and where the production is based. A loose paragraph is fine.
We come back with a quote covering aircraft time, pilot time, hangar / ramp time, and any coordination fees (e.g. Bell 505 partner pricing). For larger productions we are happy to host a location scout at the hangar by appointment.
We work off a standard short-form agreement and require production to add Aces High Aviation LLC as additional insured on the production's general liability and equipment policies. We supply our own aircraft liability. Familiar paperwork for any line producer.
Crew checks in at the hangar, pilots are briefed, aircraft are positioned, and we run the day with you. We are happy to be hands-on or hands-off depending on what the production wants. We work around flight school operations so things keep moving.
