Now retired, he is interested in giving back to the community that has given him so much over the last thirty years by passing the torch and helping to train new pilots.

We look forward to having Peter on our staff as he brings a significant amount of experience and has a very professional attitude which our students would do well to emulate.

Congratulations, Peter.
