Meet Your Flight Instructors

Tom Blattner

Call Sign: Tom “Tessa’s Fourth Kid” Blattner

Owner, Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor

Tom started his professional career as an accountant, but after eight years of number-crunching and boredom he began considering a career change. He was very interested in teaching, and soon realized his preferred classroom was the cockpit. After a two-year stint living in Japan, Tom and his family moved back to the States in the summer of 2020, which is when he obtained his Instrument, Commercial, and then Flight Instructor certifications.

Tom is excited to use his hundreds of hours of flight experience to introduce YOU to the skies, and help you reach your dream of becoming a pilot. If you want to learn to land an airplane so smoothly that your passengers have uninterrupted, blissful dreams, then give Tom a call!

Will Sangster

Call Sign: Stay At Home Dad

Creative Director, Commercial Pilot and Certified Flight Instructor

After drawing pretty pictures working as a professional graphic designer for over 16 years, Will began his aviation journey in the fall of 2021 thinking that flying would just be a hobby. Boy was he wrong. After securing his private pilot’s license in March of 2022, we couldn’t keep him out of the cockpit. 

He quickly went on to obtain his instrument rating in August 2022, following up not too long after with his commercial and flight instructor certificates by April 2023. Since then, Will has put his passion to use, providing his students with hundreds of hours of instruction. 

Will’s always ready to share his love of aviation with anyone who’s interested, even those not interested. Seriously, this guy can talk. He can take you from “airplanes are magic,” to the Pilot in Command you’re destined to be.
