Welcoming More Certified Flight Instructors to our Team
Availability for flight lessons continues to expand as our team sees more growth. We’re thrilled to announce the addition of two more Certified Flight Instructors, Alex Mislevy and Jesse Foster, to our team!
Alex Mislevy (left) started his training as a pilot when he was a senior in high school in 2011. After his first flight, he knew this was the career path for him and worked to complete his private pilot license the summer after he graduated high school. Alex attended college at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida, where he earned his instrument rating. After completing the coursework for his degree, he finished his commercial pilot license and flight instructor certificate in Pennsylvania.
Spring 2019 Update
With signs of Spring beginning to appear, we are also witnessing rapid changes with the construction of our new facility. The exterior of the building is coming together, with cement work to be completed shortly. Currently, completion of the new facility is slated for sometime this summer.The new facility will be the home of our rapidly expanding flight training center and pilot training academy as well as continued aircraft sales business. With roughly 6,000 square feet of office space and a large aircraft hangar, the new facility will be the perfect space for customers as they complete their flight training. We’re pleased to announce the addition of another CFI, Ryan Lutzkanin, to our team.Ryan grew up in a military family and moved around every few years. He’s lived in most parts of the United States and spent six years in a small town in Germany. His family settled down in Kansas City, where he attended The University of Kansas and studied philosophy and economics.
