Richard Smith
My curiosity for flight began at an early age. Which was then blessed by meeting a wonderful CFI (Mary) whose passion for flying, teaching and patience led to my “Solo Flight” and then off to Spartan School Of Aeronautics where I completed my Private Pilot training.
That was 1982 and fast forward to now, I have combined my years of gained experience in general aviation, my love of teaching and helping people achieve their goals, into our flight training program. Where I look forward to assisting you on your aviation journey that will lay the foundation for many unique and wonderful experiences that aviation can provide you.

Bob Deen
Bob’s passion for flying and teaching is immediately apparent. Bob began flying in 1981 and became an aircraft owner shortly thereafter. Like a lot of first time buyers, Bob’s first airplane was a Cessna 172. Which quickly migrated to a Cessna RG Cardinal, Cessna C182 (modified for Sky diving) and Piper Seneca. As airplanes progressed, so did more advanced ratings and serving as a Corporate Pilot, Bob flew various multi-engine aircraft and single engine turboprop airplanes such the Pilatus PC12 as Captain.
He says that Flight Instruction is a way to give back to the flying community and he enjoys watching others progress.
