Flight/Flight Instruction Experience
"A Rough Road Leads to the Skies" to paraphrase a Latin proverb... But, with an absolute love of flight and aviation, I share my knowledge, experience, and passion for all things flying with my students. I instruct at: * Travis Aero Club, a flying club located at Rio Vista - catering to military servicemen and women. * Oakland Flyers, a flying club located at Oakland International Airport - a outstanding place to gain "real world" flight experience * Concord, where a privately-owned airplane is available for instructional rental
