He graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Aviation Management and an Associates of Applied Science in Aviation Flight. After graduation, he started working at Murray and Trettel Consulting meteorologists, and learned way more about the weather than he ever thought he would know! Following graduation, Erik only flew in small blocks, earning his CFI, but didn't fly much after that and he quit flying entirely after 2000. 2015 Erik decided to start flying again, first getting his flight review completed, then his instrument proficiency check finished up. He went right in and earned his Instrument Instructor. 2019 Erik now trains full time, students of all types. He is friendly, fair, and firm. He will completely train his students in the art and science of aviation and flying an airplane. He will challenge you to be a pilot beyond what you ever thought you'd be able to be.
Frank's passion for aviation began at a young age when his Uncle took him for his first flight in a small airplane. Among the many great aspects of flying some of Frank's favorites are the freedom, accessibility, and challenges present in every flight. Frank believes one of the most rewarding things about instructing is watching students work hard at a skill and then one day seeing the look in their eyes when it all comes together and they get it. Frank likes to teach by being patient and building the students understanding and skill to create a confident, competent pilot.

Like many aviators, she was “bit by the aviation bug” and has been hooked on flying ever since. She went on to finish her degree in Civil Engineering and worked as an engineer for a few years before deciding to pursue a career as a professional pilot. Originally from Minnesota, she has lived in Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio, and Colorado, and consequently has a wide variety of flying experience. Her favorite part about being a flight instructor is getting to share her passion with others and helping people turn their dreams of becoming a pilot into reality.

Tim Sale has been flying in the Rockies for almost 40 years. His first mountain experience was in a Piper J-3 Cub. The J-3 Cub is grossly underpowered and flying one in the mountains takes a lot of skill.
Tim’s students come from all over the USA and Canada to learn how to fly in the Rockies.
His approach is to teach pilots how to safely fly in the mountains, not just over them.
Tim will develop your skills on how to extract the maximum performance from your aircraft and use the terrain conditions in the mountains to their greatest extent.
