“My favorite part of training new pilots is seeing the fire and energy a new aspiring aviator brings. Training new pilots helps myself recapture that enthusiasm and realize what a privilege it is to be in the air doing something you dreamt of as a kid. I’m currently working on my MEI while I continue to work for American Flyers.”

It helps me be a better pilot too.”
