Stories and Lessons Learned at This Month's Second Saturday! We are delighted to welcome Designated Pilot Examiner Mary Schu to this month's Second Saturday Seminar, where she will share Stories and Lessons Learned from nearly five decades of flight experience.

She also conducts Flight Instructor Refresher Courses (FIRC) and was named the 2015 National Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year. At this month's event Mary will discuss her various aviation experiences, including owning and operating a flight school, working as a contract pilot for various companies, and acting as an examiner for checkrides from Private Pilot through CFI.

Short Finals… · We are pleased to announce that Caiden Reid has joined our team of flight instructors at Willamette Aviation! Caiden's college career took a detour during the pandemic, when all of his classes went online. It was at that time that he decided he wanted to do something more hands-on with his life, so he decided to become a pilot. He started flight training in Tucson, Ariz., and received his CFI and MEI certifications less than a year after his first flight lesson. He also gained valuable cross-country experience in the American Southwest, logging many hours over Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and California. Caiden grew up in Portland and has a deep appreciation of our state's natural resources. He enjoys fishing and snowboarding, and he even took up surfing when he attended the University of Hawaii. "I am excited to teach people of all ages about one of my biggest passions," he says. "It wasn't long after I started flying that I knew I wanted to make this a career."
