Riggin Flight Service

At Riggin Flight Service, we’re not just about flying — we’re about connecting people to the extraordinary landscapes of South Dakota and beyond. After more than 70+ years in business with 45 aircraft deep, we still live by our founding principles: a passion for exploration and the thrill of commanding the skies. Our roots run deep in agricultural flying, including aerial crop spraying, and we’ve built a legacy of delivering exceptional flying experiences. Now, we’ve grown to offer a wide range of training and services for pilots, ensuring every step of the journey is top-notch. Riggin Flight Service is truly a family business, and it all started with our founder, Wayne Riggin. Today, Wayne’s son, Morris, leads the business and carries on his dad’s legacy with dedication and enthusiasm. Morris brings a world of experience to Riggin, from flying with the iconic Schwann’s Red Baron Squadron to navigating tough freight routes in multi-engine Cessnas and even braving the Alaskan wilderness as a bush pilot. Morris has transformed Riggin into a one-of-a-kind flight school, offering opportunities for pilots at every stage of their aviation journey — from those taking their first foray into the sky to seasoned flyers growing their aviation career.
