The purpose of this topic is to introduce TEMAC's flight instruction crew to our membership and new students.
The flight instruction crew will be introduced in no particular sequence, except for the first few who already have introductions on the forum, which makes it easy to find out more about each person individually.
More posts will be added as more information is obtained from each team member.
Individual photos of each person are provided for ease of reference, in order to help students identify us.
Once students have a chance to recognize us at the field or at a pilots meeting, don't be afraid to approach any of us and introduce yourself. We are real people who enjoy the hobby and wish to share it by helping others learn how to fly safely and to become fruitful members within the TEMAC organization.
TEMAC's Club motto is 'have fun, be safe and be courteous'. Share these behaviors as an active member of the club.
To start things off, the photo below is a group picture taken last year of most of the team. Individual pictures of each crew member will be added in subsequent posts.
