I know way too many good folk who have instructed to single any one of them out... But I will give credit to a very good friend of mine who helped play a large roll in keeping me motivated. Thanks Chris!

David Simpson was my only instructor. I logged .5 with him then quit.

Any instructor that holds their cool and adapts to the student then they should get all the respect in the world. The hardest part about teaching is trying to adapt to the different individual. With my experience as an instructor I had students that were doctors, high schoolers, millionares (trying to buy their license), Fishermen and even people that had trouble with reading ( lasted a day and a half). So looking at the different indivduals then you have to change you style to adapt to the student. This is the hardest part about instructing.
Remember it is all about confidence!!!!!!!

Must've been a pretty good instructor if you stuck with him that long.

Best instructor? Well, not that I've had more than one instructor, but he's the best one I've had. You know who you are...

Hey Pete!
Teaching you was fun, so I almost felt guilty charging you for it!

No bombing stuff yet, but we get a day on the range in feb for small arms currency. Should be fun! Take her easy and merry x-mas!

I nominate Bruce, CFI/Owner of Juan Air in YYJ. I'm sure he will receive other votes, for many reasons.

Not that anyone cares but I had what I would consider to be a super great instructor. New one seems really great too. Guess Im lucky.

I dealt with henry while doing my CFI interview with him. Working with him, while being at transport, was very professional and easy to get along with. TC needs more people like him.
