David has been the relocation pilot for MGAS since 2006. An extensive background in flight training, David has been a professional flight instructor since 1989, his specialty is teaching aerobatics and tailwheel training. A former U.S. Army Instructor Pilot, David has 14 years experience flying the AH-64A Apache including tours in Bosnia (1998), Kosovo (1999) and Afghanistan (2004). “If you see me at an airshow, I’ll usually be walking around with a camera or a cleaning rag in my hand, ask me about getting into flying or aerobatics and I’ll talk your ear off, flight training is my passion and I want everyone to know it’s not magic, just have the desire and commitment, get professional training and you’ll realize your dreams.”
