Let me help you realize your aviation goals. I have decades of experience instructing as a flight instructor (CFI, CFII) in both Cessnas, Pipers and various other types. I can help you with checkouts in your Vans RV aircraft as well. I have been flying for forty plus years. I come from an aviation family; my father flew P-38 Lightnings in WWII and my brother was an accomplished glider pilot. I got the flying bug early. My first aviation job was refueling aircraft at the local airport. My first flying job was instructing at the flight school there. Eventually I built a career with the airlines. I flew jets and turboprops all over the world. My current areas of interest are experimental aircraft, warbirds and formation flying. I have recently returned to my roots as a general aviation pilot and flight instructor. I have over a thousand hours of experience instructing in all kinds of airplanes. I love flying, especially in small aircraft and I would appreciate the opportunity to help you grow your own passion for aviation. Whether you are brand new to flying, own your own airplane, are in a flying club, or renting aircraft, get in touch and let’s talk about flying!
