John McCormick

CFI, CFII

John (“JD”) is a lifelong aviation enthusiast, and comes to us with 7 years instructing experience as a CFI & CFII, over 1,400 hours, with extensive time teaching students. He also holds his FAA Dispatcher certification, a Bachelor’s from Embry-Riddle, and an MBA from Tour University. He is also soon-to-be retired from nearly 24 years in the US Air Force

He also loves the freedom of paramotor flying for its pure, open-air connection to flight, but his real drive comes from teaching—guiding pilots through every step, building their skills and confidence with clear, thorough instruction and genuine enthusiasm.
