Unmanned Aviation--the future soft skill

A Brief Message from Your Ground School and Flight Instructor

Welcome! Flying is fun--that's the message I try to convey to all of my learning pilots.
I began learning to fly in high school in the 1970s. I earned my Private Pilot License as a high school senior.
I began instructing others to fly gliders as an Air Force Academy cadet soaring instructor, eventually graduating in 1984 and earning my Air Force pilot wings. So, I've been instructing fellow pilots for over 40 years, teaching them to fly drones, gliders, airplanes, and jets.
Now I work for Planehook Aviation Services. Our goal is to help YOU become a safe, proficient and risk-aware aviator...and have fun.
Let's get started!
