Marc McKee:

Marc is a certified flight instructor with very diverse flying experiences.  He established himself in high school first by achieving valedictorian status at local North High School.  Upon deciding to attend the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences at the University of North Dakota, he became increasingly passionate about flying.  

After a year of training in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Mr. McKee and a few peers began a transfer program to the University of Hawaii, which although affiliated with the University of North Dakota, never had such opportunity been possible.  While in Hawaii, he gained valuable flight time with over-water and ditching procedures along with mountainous terrain flying. Training in Hawaii finished with aerobatic training and a certified flight instructor rating.  

Returning to North Dakota the following year earned him a Instrument flight instructor rating as well as valuable Canadian Regional Jet training.  Mr. McKee finished his Bachelors degree at the end of that third year and continued on instructing from there.  His students currently maintain a 100% passing rate on the private pilot practical test.  Along with his persistence in the air, his entrepreneur spirit is fueled by his passion of aviation.  Marc is a managing partner as well as the primary flight instructor for the company.
