Hi, I'm Dan. I started flying when I was 11 years old, but I developed an interest in aviation way before that. My parents told me they would invest in flying lessons for me if i made the honor roll, and after I accomplished that, I've been flying ever since.

Hi, I'm Dan. I started flying when I was 11 years old, but I developed an interest in aviation way before that. My parents told me they would invest in flying lessons for me if i made the honor roll, and after I accomplished that, I've been flying ever since. I love instructing because I love changing peoples lives and helping them attain a lifelong goal. Some highlights from my aviation career are that I was in the military for 20 years. Joining the military gave me the chance to learn about a different side of aviation that you wouldn't learn on the civilian side. It allowed me to make an impact on the world as well as our country. Now that I retired from the military, I want to contribute to creating the next generation of aviators and produce the best pilots possible.

My love for aviation naturally developed from my mom being a flight attendant and booking Grand Canyon air tours for guests as a concierge. I became the first pilot in my family in 2020!

My love for aviation naturally developed from my mom being a flight attendant and booking Grand Canyon air tours for guests as a concierge. I became the first pilot in my family in 2020! I am also heavily involved in the aviation community as Chair of the Las Vegas Chapter of the Ninety-Nines International Organization of Women Pilots and volunteer for many other aviation organizations. Since becoming a flight instructor, I realized teaching was my other passion. When I'm not instructing or flying for fun, I work in hospitality on the beautiful Las Vegas Strip. In my spare time, I like to hang out with close friends and family, go off-roading in the desert, and read mystery novels.

My name is Dawson Nygard. I was born and raised here in Las Vegas. I am a CFI and corporate pilot, with experience mostly in Cessna, Piper, and Pilatus aircraft. I have an associate degree in Criminal Justice but have always been interested in aviation. Growing up my family traveled quite a bit, always flying, spending a lot of time in airports and we would often attend the air shows at Nellis AFB. As an instructor, I strive to share my passion for aviation and help teach the next generation of aviators.

Hello, I'm Curtis King. I'm a retired Airforce Instructor Flight Engineer. Currently, I'm a part time flight Instructor at ChrisAir Aviation and a full time Challenger 300 First Officer flying charter operations out of KLAS. I was ChrisAir's first flight instructor when we opened in 2022. Professionally, there's no better feeling than helping aspiring pilots turn childhood (or adult) dreams into a pilot certificate and watching each of them climb the ladder to their dream jobs or simply buying their own airplane and fly as a hobby.

My name is Dakota Evans and I have been a CFI in the Vegas area for over 3 years. I am an active duty Air Force officer and moved out to Vegas back in 2021. I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching and love meeting new students. Watching students succeed has made my love for flight instructing continue to grow stronger each and every time I hop in the plane with a student. After earning my Gold Seal flight instructor in 2023, I realized that teaching the next generationof pilots is something that I feel extremely passionate about and want to continue doing for the next 3 years I have left in the military.

Hello, my name is Luis. I was born in Cuba and came to US in 2005 pursuing the American dream. Started to work in different jobs until I decided to move forward in the auto repair field. I been a mechanic for over 10 years. I always knew I want to keep growing in a career and decided to be a pilot. Teaching is really rewarding. You might not realize it but you are the student’s role model. Even though every person learns at a different pace, I’m completely devoted to making sure each student is learning and understanding and no one is left behind, no matter how long it takes. Teaching doesn’t feel like a job; it’s fun! As a Flight Instructor to see others succeed and be a part of their achievements is priceless.
