Austin Allen
Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
CFI, CFII | Commercial Pilot, Single-Engine Land
Austin holds his CFI and CFI-I along with a Commercial Single-Engine Land certificate. Flying wasn't on his radar growing up — he spent the better part of eight years in the trades before making the jump to aviation and moving to Texas. He always watched the sky, tracking CAL FIRE aircraft in and out of their Sacramento base, and after a discovery flight in Auburn he knew he was in the wrong profession. With a wife willing to move 1,500 miles so he could chase the passion, he settled in Texas and now works to give every student an aviation experience that is fulfilling and rewarding.
