Everything you get with E3 Aviation.

The full breakdown of every tool, every benefit, every reason serious GA pilots make E3 home. Use the menu below to jump straight to what matters to you.

E3 SkyShare

Unique landing locations you can't find anywhere else.

SkyShare is a member-built map of one-of-a-kind places to fly — backcountry strips, fly-in restaurants, attractions, camping spots, seaplane landing areas, resorts, and vacation rentals with their own runways.

Not a sectional. Not a chart supplement. Not a travel blog. This is where bush pilots, backcountry flyers, and adventurous GA owners share the hidden gems they've actually landed at — the kind of places that never make it onto a public map.

  • Backcountry stripsBush and backcountry locations across North America
  • Fly-in restaurants & attractionsEat, see, and explore on the ground
  • Camping & seaplane spotsSleep under the wing, splash down in the cove
  • Resorts & rentals with runwaysLand at your hotel, taxi to the porch

E3 SkyHub

The pilot connection that finally works.

SkyHub matches you with the right pilots — by aircraft, by region, by skill level, by mission. Find a weekend crew, find a transition mentor, find someone who's flown your exact next trip.

Not another social feed. Not a search-and-hope directory. A real connection engine that pairs the right people on both sides — the pilots who want to learn, fly, and grow with the ones who've already done it.

  • Smart matchingBy aircraft, region, mission, and skill level
  • Weekend crewsFind pilots near you flying this Saturday
  • Direct messagingReal conversations, not forum posts
