Hi everyone, I’m Angelina and I’m a CFI!

First and foremost, I am an aviation enthusiast! My favorite part about aviation would be the people in it. Upon fostering a community, I’ve met so many generous people who’ve helped further me in my aviation journey. Now I want to give back, do the same for others, and help them succeed! Please reach out if you have any questions or inquiries, I’d be happy to help and share the wonderful opportunities aviation offers.

Tenley Ong

Hi! I'm Tenley and I'm a CFII!

If I'm not flying, I'm probably restoring my RV-6, cycling, writing, skiing, or on an adventure somewhere. There have been so many people who have helped guide me, and I want to do the same for others. Let me know how I can help with your flight training, or if you have any questions regarding scholarships, next steps, or just stuff about life in general.
