“I have over thirty-five years of flying both fixed and rotary wing aircraft in military, government, and civilian capacities.  Fred is one of the best with whom I have ever flown.  Experienced, calm, skillful, patient.  His genuine love for and stewardship of the backcountry sets him apart. Highly recommend." ~ John from North Carolina, June 2022

See What Our Clients Have to Say:

"Thank you so much Fred for the amazing backcountry training experience.  Your plane was in perfect shape and a lot of fun to fly.  Your backcountry knowledge and ability to communicate to me in a concise yet complete manner was exactly what I was hoping to get out of training.  Having the ability to get out and take a moment to soak in the beauty of the backcountry strips and rivers/creeks was icing on the cake.  You exceeded all my expectations!   Thank you for providing me a 5-star flight training experience that was memorable and beyond FUN!!!" ~ Lori from Georgia
