Saturday, August 3, Falcon Field Airport will be featuring Red Rock Flight School and their Piper Lance and Lake Amphibian. We sat down with them and asked a few questions:
Q: What types of aircraft does your organization fly?
A: We fly Piper Cherokees 180s, Piper Archers, a Piper Lance, a Piper Aztec, and a Lake 180.
Q: Would your organization like to add aircraft to their fleet?
A: Yes, the goal is always to expand our fleet.
Q: How does your organization facilitate a love of aviation?
A: Our organization is run by individuals with a deep passion for aviation. Our owner, Jim Samuelson, is a check airman for American Airlines on the Boeing 777, and Jordie Samuelson comes from an aviation background. We specifically seek out individuals who have a desire to teach and expand their knowledge. As the saying goes, when you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.
Q: What types of certifications/degrees does your organization offer?
A: We offer the following ratings: private pilot license, instrument rating, commercial pilot license, multi-engine add-on, certified flight instructor, certified flight instructor-instrument, high-performance/complex endorsement, and hopefully in the near future, a seaplane add-on.
