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.
Bill Spence
CFI
About Bill
“I went on my first airplane ride with a friend of our family when I was five years old. I knew on that day that I wanted to fly airplanes, and I never veered from that. I’ve been an instructor since I was 18 years old. From high school I went to college then into the Air Force, instructing in T-38s, then flew C-130s for several years. I’ve owned a flight school, worked as chief pilot for the Sheriff’s department, then went to the airlines. I retired from American Airlines after 30 years and always instructed during that time. So I love flying airplanes but I love teaching too.”
