Continuing the Photo Tour of
my Life in Flight.
 | Upon obtaining my Commercial Lighter Than Air - Balloon license in 1995, I
also became a balloon instructor. However I have since only given a
few instructional flights in balloons.
|
| In 1999 I obtained my Advanced Ground Instructor license which allows me
to give ground instruction for all categories and classes.
|
| In 1999 I also obtained my Certified Flight Instructor's license for
Gliders. Since that time I have given glider flight instruction to
students starting as young as 12 years old, with several soloing a glider on
their 14th birthday, and getting their Private Pilot license on their 16th
birthday. |
| In 2001 I was named CFI of the year for the FAA Scottsdale (Arizona) FSDO
District, and for the Western-Pacific Region of the FAA.
|
| In 2002 I was named a Master Certified Flight Instructor by the National
Association of Flight Instructors.

There are approximately 81,000 CFIs in the United States. Fewer than
three hundred of them have achieved this distinction thus far. Only 15
Arizona aviation educators have earned this prestigious "Master"
title. Earning this designation is tantamount to having the words summa
cum laude emblazoned on an instructor's certificate. |
