"I`m originally from Egypt and grew up in Saudi Arabia. I began flight training at PEA, earning my private, instrument, commercial, and CFI ratings. I`m now a Flight Instructor at PEA, helping students grow in skill and confidence. Aviation has taught me discipline, humility, and consistency, and I now share that daily with future pilots."
- Omar Algazar

"I`m a flight instructor from Seattle, now in Florida since 2016. I earned my CFI, CFII, and MEI in May 2024 and have been teaching at PEA for over six months. Watching students succeed has been the most rewarding part of my journey.
I`m also a mentor with Women in Aviation and Vice President of the WAI Jacksonville chapter, supporting others in aviation."
- Isabella Boehm

"I`m a 19-year-old Commercial Pilot and CFI, finishing my CFII. I trained at PEA, and it`s been an incredible journey. Since childhood, I`ve been obsessed with flying, spending hours at the airport or on a simulator.
As an Egyptian American, I spent summers in Egypt. On my first flight, the captain gave me a pilot wing that sparked my dream. Now, I`m excited to grow in aviation, share what I`ve learned, and help others chase their flying dreams."
- Mohamed Dabour

"I moved from Malaysia to Minnesota in 2009 to study Sport Management and went on to have a 12-year career in professional soccer. Becoming a pilot has been a lifelong dream, so pursuing it now feels both fascinating and surreal. I`m currently working on my Commercial Pilot`s License and am determined to find my place in the aviation industry."
- Ryan Natusch

"I`m a Certified Flight Instructor at Phoenix East Aviation. Originally from Rhode Island, I moved to Florida and began my aviation journey in 2022, earning all my certificates through PEA. I`m part of the PSA Airlines and Republic Airways Cadet Programs and proud to be part of the PEA family."

Congratulations, @pilotshai, on earning your PPL! ✈️

"Achieving my Private Pilot License is a dream come true, and I am beyond grateful for this incredible journey. Ever since I was a kid, I spent countless hours on a flight simulator, imagining what it would be like to take to the skies for real. That childhood dream has now become a reality, and the feeling is absolutely surreal. The countless hours of studying, training, and pushing through challenges have all led to this unforgettable milestone. Flying has taught me discipline, resilience, and the pure joy of freedom in the skies. I am deeply thankful to my flight instructor, family, and friends, who supported me every step of the way. This is not just an achievement—it’s the beginning of a lifelong adventure, and I can`t wait to see where this passion for aviation takes me next!" ...

"In 2016, at 12, I emigrated from Syria, seeking a better opportunity in the United States. My aviation journey commenced on August 15, 2022, and culminated in my commercial pilot certification on November 26, 2024. I am deeply grateful for my journey at Phoenix East Aviation. The unwavering support provided by my parents, brothers, and instructors, including Austin Hampton, Andrew Joseph, and Alegria Mauricio, has been instrumental in my success.

I have had the privilege of learning from exceptional pilots and experiencing unforgettable adventures. I am eager to transition into the Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) role and assist others in achieving their aviation goals, just as my instructors guided me through my training. With unwavering determination, I strive to embody the best qualities of myself and represent my Syrian heritage with pride." ...
