  • Nerieda Scott   CFI CFII MEI Assistant Chief


    New Orleans, LA
    "I am a New Orleans native, and I left home to get my degree and all of my flight ratings. I've been a Flight Instructor since 2006, but I've always missed the unique culture of Louisiana. I'm excited to be back home and doing two things I love, flying and instructing."

  • Cody Wilson   CFI

    "Like many pilots I’ve been an aviation enthusiast since I was a kid so to have the opportunity to fly everyday for a living is truly a dream come true. I received my initial flight training at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and then transferred to Louisiana Tech where I earned my degree in Professional Aviation in November, 2011. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and I hope I can help you complete your aviation goals."

I then joined the U.S. Navy and earned my “Wings of Gold.” With over 650 carrier landings on 7 different ships, I have flown and taught around the world. I look forward to helping you earn YOUR wings!"
