Our Team
Your lead instructor and pilot is Job Savage. Job started flying in 2020 and is now an accomplished tailwheel and warbird pilot. He currently has in excess of 3900 hours and over 2600 hours of tailwheel time. He is both an airplane and helicopter CFII and holds an ATP rating that he received in a Douglas DC-3. In addition to the DC-3, he holds a type rating in the Grumman TBM Avenger, as well as Experimental Type Ratings in the North American P-51, Supermarine Spitfire, and Douglas AD Skyraider, Curtiss P-40 and Chance Vought F4U Corsair. He also holds an FAA Experimental All Makes and Models authorization. He routinely flies other warbirds including the Beech 18, North American T-6, Cessna L-19, Fairchild PT-26, and various Waco models. To date has experience in 60 types of airplanes and helicopters.
In 2023 Job raced in the T-6 Class at the final Reno National Air Races where he placed 6th in the Silver Race. He was named the class 2023 Rookie of the Year.
In the spring of 2024, he was pilot in command for two Atlantic crossings in the DC-3 as part of the D-Day Squadron. That same year was named as a Warbird 20 under 40 Rising Star.
Job’s passion is instruction, particularly tailwheel and warbird instruction. Unlike many young pilots, he is not instructing and providing ferry services to ‘build time’ for the airlines. His intent is to be a career instructor and ferry pilot.
He is appreciative of the opportunity to share these unique aircraft with others and is especially interested in equipping other young pilots to continue to keep history alive.
Job looks forward to sharing his passion with you.
