Aviation. He is an aviation enthusiast\/pilot who loves every minute of the freedom he possesses when flying. It all started at the age of 8 when he went to a local fly-in. This was the first time he had ever come in contact with an aircraft\u2013needless to say he was hooked! Since then, he dreamed about flying, but it wasn\u2019t until 2011 that he would actually get to fly in a single engine plane for the first time. As he became a pilot the following year he also became an aircraft owner. After owning a few aircraft an opportunity presented itself to become the owner of a flight school. He accepted the opportunity, and it was the best decision that he has ever made. He gets to enjoy flying and running a business side by side. This is the best of both worlds for Brandon. Aerowood is a growing company that treats our customers as family, and we look forward to you being a part of ours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

Originally planning to pursue a career with the airlines; as an instructor she fell in love with the flight training environment and chose to stay in a leadership role. Her extensive experience as a CFI, CFII, and MEI earned her recognition as a Gold Seal instructor. As Student Manager at Aerowood, Courtney enjoys guiding students through their training journey and being a go-to resource whenever they need support. When she\u2019s not in the air, she is passionate about rescuing animals and volunteers regularly with local shelters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

She became interested in aviation through a family friend who owned a P-51 Mustang; hanging out at the hangar, hearing all the pilots chatting, and getting to sit in the cockpit. It wasn\u2019t until 2020, when Ashley got \u201cstuck\u201d in New Zealand during COVID, that she looked further into aviation. After following her family to Charlotte, North Carolina, she booked a Discovery Flight at Aerowood Aviation and got the flying bug.\u00a0\u00a0Ashley got her Private Pilot Certificate at Aerowood. She completed the rest of her certificates and ratings in Concord, NC but knew that Aerowood Aviation was the place to continue her aviation journey where she will introduce new pilots and inspire

started at a young age. He began flying remote controlled airplanes at the age of 2 and the love for aviation has never gone away. Benton first started in real aircraft where he soloed in a glider at\u00a0 the age of 14. He would go on to earn his Private Glider Certificate at age 17 and later earned his Commercial Certificate in gliders as well. While attending Wingate University and obtaining a Finance degree, he started working towards his Private Pilot Airplane and completed this in the spring of 2022. After graduating with honors from Wingate University, Benton decided aviation was the career route he wanted to take and started at Aerowood; earning his Instrument, Commercial, Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI), Instrument Instructor (CFII), Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI), and Instrument Ground Instructor (IGI) ratings and certificates. He also is a Cirrus Training Center Instructor (TCI); he can introduce you to the #cirruslife. Finally, he can give tailwheel instruction in our Citabria aircraft. Outside of professional endeavors, Benton enjoys traveling to various air shows along with his family \u2013 they are also into aviation. With over nine years of experience flying, Benton looks forward to meeting and teaching safe flying to the next generation of pilots!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

With both of his parents being fighter pilots for the Air Force, he had lifelong exposure to aviation. This eventually led him to attend the University of North Dakota for flight training, where he received two Bachelors of Science, one in Commercial Aviation and the other in Unmanned Aircraft Systems. He received his Instrument, Commercial, CFI\/CFII, Multi-Engine, and Acrobatic training during his time in North Dakota. Additionally, Mark was a Layup Technician in the construction and assembly of Cirrus Aircraft at the Cirrus manufacturing facility in Grand Forks, ND. Wanting to leave the bitter cold and windswept plains of North Dakota, Mark found Aerowood Aviation and never looked back. Outside of aviation, Mark can be found hiking, camping, fly-fishing, climbing, or just about anything else you can do in the mountains. Don\u2019t hesitate to call or text Mark to see how he can help you achieve your aviation goals!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4adb8af

flight early in life. Born and raised in Charlotte, she began flying at Aerowood Aviation at just 16 years old. A few months later, she soloed for the first time and went on to earn her Private Pilot Certificate days after turning 17. Only a few months later, she added her Instrument Rating, and on her 18th birthday, she took her Commercial Single-Engine Checkride. Shortly thereafter, Sara became a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI), then added her Advanced Ground Instructor (AGI) certificate, Commercial Multi-Engine rating, and CFI-Instrument rating.<\/p><p>With experience flying a wide range of aircraft, including Cessnas, Pipistrels, Mooneys, Cirruses, and Grummans, Sara brings a diverse background and adaptable teaching style to her students. Having grown up in the Aerowood Aviation community, she is passionate about sharing the joy of flight and helping each student achieve their personal aviation goals.<\/p><p>Outside of working full-time as an instructor, Sara is currently a sophomore at the University of Florida, pursuing a degree in Business Administration. Dedicated, enthusiastic, and safety-focused, she looks forward to inspiring the next generation of pilots to reach new heights.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

His passion for aviation began after a family friend took him on his first small aircraft flight during his senior year of high school, an experience that inspired him to pursue flying as a career. He went on to attend Delta State University, earning a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Commercial Aviation Flight Operations while also competing on the men\u2019s basketball team. During his time there, he earned his Commercial, CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates and ratings while gaining valuable experience in both complex and technically advanced aircraft. Outside of flying, Cole enjoys fishing and spending time outdoors. He is excited to share his knowledge and looks forward to helping you achieve your aviation goals.

father. Just six days after his 17th birthday, Dar earned his Private Pilot certificate, marking the beginning of a swift progression in his aviation career. After gaining valuable experience working at Aerowood Aviation\u2019s front desk, he achieved both his Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot certificate during the Summer of 2024. Two years after obtaining his Private Pilot certificate, and the day after his 19th birthday, Dar earned his Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate then followed with his CFI-Instrument and TCI (Cirrus Training Center Instructor). He also is able to give tailwheel instruction in our Citabria aircraft. Dar has expertise with a wide variety of aircraft makes and models, including those from Cirrus, Beechcraft, Mooney, Cessna, Piper, and Grumman. Outside of his professional pursuits, Dar enjoys hands-on aircraft maintenance, writing music, leading his band, and playing volleyball. He is eager to help you achieve your aviation goals and looks forward to working with you!<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-647a4b0 animated-slow

airplanes flew over. After graduating from NC State University in the late 1980s, a friend challenged him to take an introductory flight and that flight sparked a lifelong passion for aviation.<u>\u00a0<\/u>Soon thereafter he earned his Private Pilot Certificate and became a partner in a Piper Archer, flying out of Charlotte\/Douglas International Airport. He obtained his Instrument Rating and spent the next 30 years flying numerous cross-country trips and building experience in single-engine planes.<\/p><p>In 2022, Ric left the corporate world and began to focus more fully on aviation, earning his Private Helicopter, Commercial Pilot ASEL, and CFI certificates and ratings.<\/p><p>With decades of experience, he brings calm, clarity, and enthusiasm to every lesson. Whether flying for that \u201c$100 hamburger\u201d or teaching a student, he continues to find purpose and joy in the air. For Ric, aviation is more than a profession.

next step in his lifelong aviation journey. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, he closely followed the NASA Space Shuttle program, which led him to study Aerospace Engineering with the goal of becoming a Mission Specialist. That path shifted after a discovery flight celebrating his high school graduation\u2014he walked away knowing he wanted to be in a different kind of flight deck. From there, Brian earned his Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Multi-Engine certificates and ratings. After college, he stepped away from aviation to build a corporate career and raise his family. Upon moving to Charlotte and watching his kids grow up, he returned to his true passion and earned his CFI certificate. Today, Brian is a safety-focused instructor whose broad real-world experience and steady approach make him an excellent choice for anyone beginning their journey toward a career in aviation.<\/p><p dir=\"auto\">Holding a bachelor\u2019s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology, Blake brings a unique approach to flight instruction\u2014one that not only emphasizes respect for regulations but also understands the individual motivations and learning styles of each student.

an engineering defense contractor (supporting Naval Aviation).\u00a0 As a volunteer pilot (CFI, Check Pilot Examiner) in Civil Air Patrol (CAP), he has logged over 900 hours in the G1000 Glass Cockpit platform.<\/p><p>For the first time in July 2019, the USAF started a program of using CAP CFIs to evaluate commissioned officers for their potential continuation into Undergraduate Pilot Training.\u00a0 Jong was part of this initial CFI cadre of 24 CFIs tasked with flight and classroom instruction for the USAF.\u00a0 He has also used his flying skills for law enforcement activities and to support disaster relief operations.\u00a0<\/p><p>At this time, he does not take on primary students.\u00a0 But he\u2019d be happy to help you create a plan of action for your aviation goals post primary, e.g., fine-tune private pilot level skills, instrument training, commercial training, instructor ratings.\u00a0 Additionally, he\u2019s available for flight reviews, instrument proficiency checks, mock check rides, night currency, and mountain flying techniques.<\/p><p>As for mountain flying, he can provide specialized training in actual mountainous terrain near Asheville.\u00a0 While you may not contemplate flying into some of those short, high elevation airfields, actually doing so can increase your confidence while overflying mountainous terrain.<\/p><p>Incidentally he\u2019s also a helicopter CFI and CFI-I.\u00a0 So, while we may not have helicopters for the time being, he\u2019d be happy to address your helicopter questions as well.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e1460d animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"
