I'm Curtis, an experienced Flight Instructor based near Portland Oregon, and I will gladly travel anywhere in the US to offer accelerated instruction. Or you may come here to do an accelerated rating. And of course I offer instruction at over a dozen airports within an hours drive of Portland, such as Hillsboro, Aurora, Troutdale, Scappoose, Salem, etc.. I also offer ground instruction over Zoom or Google Meet.
