About The Adventures of Aviation, LLC
The Adventure of Aviation is dedicated to inspiring people
to live a life of adventure through aviation and to enable them to make that
life a reality through excellence in flight training, flying tours, aircraft
ownership and adventure planning.
I started The Adventure of Aviation, LLC in 2005. I have 28
years flying experience and hold a Commercial Pilot’s Certificate with
multi-engine and instrument ratings. I also hold a Certificated Flight
Instructor Certificate with Instrument Rating, Instrument Ground Instructor and
Advanced Ground Instructor Certificates.
We operate two aircraft – A Piper Cherokee 140 which is
our training aircraft for student pilots and a Beechcraft Bonanza which is used
for advanced training such as instrument flight and transition to
high-performance aircraft. We plan to expand our fleet as the business grows.
At The Adventure of Aviation our goal is not just to teach
you to fly, but rather to prepare you for using an aircraft as a means to enrich
your life. Therefore we take time to give you the experience of flying to
interesting destinations, teach you how to get the most out of an airplane when
you travel and make sure that when you get your pilot’s license you are also
armed with the confidence and knowledge needed to venture out on cross country
adventures.
We also want to be there once you have your license to
support you with advanced training, help with aircraft ownership, and most of
all, to help you plan and execute your own aviation adventures, whether they
take you around California or around the world!
