As a child, Ian was inspired to look deeper into aviation by his father who was in the Air Force.  He began flight training at the age of 16, got his private pilot certificate at 18, and moved to Nashville where he graduated from Belmont University. It was after moving to Nashville that Ian discovered his passion for aviation where he completed his instrument rating, commercial certificate, CFI, and CFII training.  Ian loves sharing his passion for flight with his students while he is working towards his goal of flying for the airlines one day. 

Case has had a great passion for aviation since being a small child. He grew up in the central Valley in California watching his Dad restore and maintain aircraft including Sean D. Tucker and Jimmy Franklin's performing aircraft as well as their very own 1947 North American Navion. Case has always had the dream of flight, and in 2015 he moved to Middle Tennessee to pursue a B.S. in Aerospace at MTSU. Living with his wife and their 2 children he hopes to continue living out his dream and hopes to share it with you!
