About Us
We have a combined experience of close to 75 years in the air. Three friends, who are professional pilots and love to share our unique aviation experiences.
Two of us flew in the military, and – yes, we were there. Military flying is different, there are no tolerances for errors or uncertainties. This has given us a sense for safety and attention to details, that we feel benefit our students. Having flown small planes to foreign countries, experienced the Rockies, and the unexpected, we have learned to never take anything for granted.
Safe and fun flying,
Lachlan, Sean and Ash

I graduated with a degree in Anthropology and immediately realized that that was not for me. My father was in the Royal Air Force and was a master mechanic, so perhaps the flying gene came from there.
So I headed to Oklahoma and Emory where I earned my credentials. Was poor and could not get flying jobs, so joined the Army and flew Blackhawks for some years.
Became a civilian, decompressed, and concluded I still loved flying. Worked my way from flying cargo to flying human beings, and have been flying commercially in the US and abroad since.

After taking an intoductory flight at 18 I was hooked. I earned my commercial wings at 21 and earned my CFI, CFII, MEI at 25. My father outdid me though, he got his wings at 17…
I have flown commercially for 20 years, and am still teaching because I continue to enjoy sharing my love of flying.
