I grew up in Mississippi flying with my dad who grew up flying with his dad. I would bring pillows to sit on so that I could see over the instrument panel of our family plane. I always enjoyed flying with my dad as he went from a Piper Seneca, to a Piper Cheyenne, to a Cirrus SR22, to a Piper Meridian.

After graduating from Belmont University in 2014, I spent a lot of time on the road as a musician but still found time to pursue my pilot’s license. Since earning my PPL in 2017, I have enjoyed many flying adventures with my wife, who is also a pilot.

With the mindset that a good pilot is always learning, I decided that every time I had a biennial flight review coming up, I would find something else to add to my license (instrument, comercial, etc.).

Not long after I received my commercial multi-engine license, I found myself in a King Air 200 flying for an owner. It was my first taste of professional flying, and I was hooked. I immediately started making arrangements to leave my long-time job selling software to pursue flying full time. I told them I was “retiring” because working in aviation is too much fun to call it a job.

I love sharing aviation with everyone who is interested and even some who aren’t. I look forward to helping as many people as possible join this special community and to equip them with the needed tools to safely set out on their own adventures.

  • Christian Calhoun

    Flight Instructor

    CFI, CFII

    One of the few born and raised Nashvillians left, coming from a studio musician father and a Cracker Barrel employed mother, aviation wasn't always something I thought I would make a career in. However, when I went to college I wanted to do something that I was passionate about and could find meaning in. The answer came in the form of airplanes, and once I discovered my passion for aviation I never looked back.
