Jerry Krivitzky has been a long time client of Century Air since he began his private pilot training in 2002. Thereafter he earned his instrument and commercial while also piloting his personally owned single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza. Over the years, Jerry has been generously donating his time to Angel Flight NE, a non-profit organization, where he has built up over 2700 flight hours transporting patients to destinations for life-saving medical care. A worthy cause indeed! We congratulate Jerry on the addition of his multi-engine rating to his list of achievements. He completed this rating in Century Air's Twin Comanche (seen here) [...]

Sal Apice began learning to fly when he received a wonderful gift from his brother on his 40th birthday - a full private pilot course!  Sal (right) earned his pilot’s certificate on January 25 and, very fittingly, his brother Jim (left) was his first passenger. Although Sal is a new private pilot, he is not new to aviation. He has been flying model aircraft as a weekend hobby for many years. And it's a giant hobby! Sal builds and flies 1/3rd scale RC aircraft with 12 foot wing spans - from Cessna 182's to turbine jet aircraft. It's an amazing [...]

He knew he would need a more challenging training environment to learn real world skills and to eventually have a chance of competing [...]
