Flight training in your aircraft
Justin Lukasavige, CFI
At six years old, my dream was to become a pilot. I accidentally fell into that when a friend’s dad offered me a ride in his airplane, and I logged my first flight before I could drive a car.
I attended Purdue University, majoring in Aviation Technology and instructing while in school. I’ve always loved being a teacher and have trained many pilots for their Private, Commercial, and Instrument ratings. I also gained valuable experience as a ferry pilot, moving aircraft around the country for owners, maintenance shops, and sales departments.
University led me to the airlines, but I quickly grew tired of seeing my toddlers taking their first steps via video from my wife while I was in a hotel.
I left the airline and brought professional, structured training with me. When I’m not instructing, I’m a corporate pilot, flying through the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean in a Learjet. I have over 6,000 hours of flight experience and am excited to fly with you!
