Northern California CFIs: Spots are still available in our CFI Spin Proficiency Initiative!

Thanks to the generous support of the Ellsworth Hovey Getchell Foundation, many instructors from across Northern California have already taken advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their spin proficiency, build confidence, and become even more effective instructors.

If you've been thinking about participating, don't wait.

This is a rare chance to receive meaningful spin proficiency training at a fraction of the normal cost—an investment that will benefit both you and the students you'll teach throughout your career.

Better-trained instructors create safer pilots.

Contact us today to reserve one of the remaining spots.

We recently had one of those “opportunity of a lifetime” experiences in aviation.

Chuck Wahl of Vultures Row Aviation at Cameron Park — where he and his talented team restore the legendary F4U Corsair — trusted us with something very special: helping train his kids in their newly restored T-34B Navy Mentor.

Watching the next generation of pilots grow has been amazing. Colby earned his Private Pilot Certificate on his 17th birthday — an incredible accomplishment and a testament to his dedication and hard work.

Carly, already a Private Pilot with both single-engine and multi-engine ratings, continued pushing forward and earned her Commercial Pilot Certificate.

And we couldn’t think of a better person to administer the checkrides than Pete Reddan — retired U.S. Air Force instructor pilot. His experience, professionalism, and passion for aviation made him the perfect fit for such a special milestone.

A huge congratulations to both Colby and Carly. Thank you Chuck for trusting us with your family and allowing us to be a small part of this incredible aviation journey.

Some airplanes have amazing histories — and this T-34B is now helping create the next chapter.
