Daniel McNinch: CFI
For as long as I can remember, I have been that kid that, no matter what, I would drop everything I was doing to stop and look at an airplane that was flying overhead. I lost sight of that for a while as I grew up, and ended up in the Marine Corps. As I was getting out and needing to look at what to do with my life, I remembered that kid and decided to try my hand at flying. I started out flying helicopters, but when I moved back to Washington, I decided to make the switch to fixed wing. Once I had my intro flight, I instantly knew what I wanted to do, and have been pursuing that dream ever since.
