Kyle Davis 

Flight Instructor - CFI, CFII​

My journey to become a pilot has certainly been a long and winding one. Having spent the majority of my professional career in various flavors of Finance, the hard pivot to aviation is, in some ways, an embracement of a childhood love for airplanes and military aviation! While I’ve reconciled that I won’t be the next Maverick, my passion for flying remains; furthermore, I’ve come to discover how rewarding it is to help others achieve their goal of becoming a pilot.
