Lance Rollins
Office Manager
About Lance
“My passion for flying started when I was in the second grade. My father had a Cessna 182 that we would fly all over the heavens. He would even sneak me out of school every Friday so we could fly to Wilmington to spend our weekends. From there, my love for aviation only grew. I can’t tell you how many famous people we met along the way or how many stunning views we saw that would make your jaw drop.”
“If there is anything I can do for you or a loved one who would rather be flying right now, please give me a call or drop me a line. I would love to help ensure another beautiful day doesn’t leave you on the ground. The next time there is a gorgeous day, I want you to see it from high above where you can see for miles and miles. Keep Flying!”

Sophia Gomez
Lead CFI, CFII
About Sophia
“I got into aviation through a friend’s dad who is a captain at the airlines. After not finding what I wanted while attending NC State, he suggested I take a discovery flight and feel it out. Turns out when I came back down from the flight, I couldn’t stop smiling and they signed me up for lessons that day. What makes it enjoyable is seeing the personal growth the students go through throughout their training, and watching them become a competent and confident aviator.”
Luke Martin
CFI
About Luke
I’ve been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. My father worked as a corporate pilot, so I was exposed to aviation at a very young age. I earned my private license in 2020 and finished my instrument, commercial, and CFI ratings in 2022. As a CFI, I love getting to introduce others to the joy of flying. Eventually, I want to fly for the airlines or a corporate flight department.
