Instructors

"A good instructor is confident and calm and lets the student fly.  A good student comes prepared, listens,
and ask questions.  We should be good [pilots] - safe, knowledgeable, proficient, prepared, and confident."
                                                                                                               Mark Twombly, AOPA Pilot, Feb 2007

We subscribe to this philosophy.  Our instructors are available seven days and evenings a week to fit
YOUR schedule.  We are committed to you; not about building hours.  Our Instructors include a retired CIA Officer,
a Doctor (Chief of Staff), a CEO of three Hotels, a former school teacher, a Drummer, and a former Test Pilot
and current Corporate Pilot. 

We teach because we love to do it.  
Our Office Number is 715-294-4500
