Earn your wings
over Michiana
Let’s Fly.
Bring Your own plane.
Save money and train in your own plane. From sport to commercial pilot training, to tailwheel endorsements, flight reviews, and instructional ferry flights—we can do it all in the plane you know and love best.
No plane? No Problem.
Meet me in beautiful Dowagiac—at Foxtrot Flight Training where I’m an instructor—and choose your mount: a vintage taildragger, a classic Cessna or Piper trainer, or a complex cross country performer.
From the ground up.
Aviators are first made on the ground. Join me for a fun and affordable online ground school, tailored to your budget and goals. Begin with free resources made and curated for you.
