Mid Island Air Service was founded by Louis Mancuso, Sr in 1946 at Deer Park Airport on Long Island. In the early 60’s, a satellite branch was opened at Brookhaven Airport where hundreds of veterans trained under the GI bill. In the mid 70’s, Deer Park Airport was closed and the operation was moved to LI MacArthur Airport. Mid Island is the leader in flight training and aircraft sales on Long Island. Students can train under FAA Part 141 for their Private, Instrument and Commercial Certificates, as well as under Part 61 for all certificates including Certified Flight Instructor Ratings. Mid Island trains students from Dowling College, Eastern Suffolk BOCES and NAFA (North American Flight Academy). We can provide the I-20 to qualified foreign students so they may train under an M-1 visa.
