James Austin
CFII
Flight Instructor, Primary
Growing up, I always had an interest in aviation. As an eight-year-old, I would watch animated dogfight videos in the back of my mom’s van. At the age of ten, my family and I visited the Smithsonian and the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, where I saw the Concorde and the B-29 "Enola Gay." Ever since that experience, I've had the "aviation bug." However, I never considered aviation as a career until my senior year of high school. I have completed all my training at USAeroFlight, from private pilot to CFII, and I am excited to start helping others cultivate their love for aviation.
