The FAA aircraft registry lists 7 piston, turboprop or helicopter aircraft with a valid registration under the name of Gulf Atlantic Airways Inc, with a Florida owner address. The most common are Cessna 172S (2), Cessna 210L (1), Piper PA-23-250 (1), Cirrus SR22 (1). The median year of manufacture is 1980, so the typical aircraft is about 46 years old.

Aircraft registered to the school in the FAA registry. A registration shows ownership, not use, and leased aircraft will not appear.
