Fort Collins, CO
"I have been involved with aviation since 2000 as both an A&P mechanic and instructor. Most of my experience with instructing has been in an academy style program. Aviation is the only field that has no limits, vertical or otherwise. I'm excited to be in New Orleans and doing three things I enjoy: aircraft maintenance, flying, and instructing." -
David Kraftchak Jr. Commercial Pilot
Belle Chasse, LA
"After a childhood dream of becoming a pilot I began flying in 2000. I have been a professional musician and entertainer serving in the U.S. Navy for 15 years and plan to retire in 2018 from our Armed Forces. When I complete my service to Uncle Sam I plan to work full time in aviation and continue to share my passion of flight with others. For the past 2 years I have continued to learn new skills and expand my education at the Flight Academy of New Orleans and am proud to be a member of this FAMILY!"
