Introducing CFI Tom Schneider

This fall, we are proud to welcome a new pilot to the #FLYROGUE team! Please give a warm welcome to CFI Tom Schneider!

Tom first started flying with us as a private pilot in 2022, but he actually started his aviation journey with fixed-wing back in 2018 before making the switch to helicopters.

As a child, Tom had big dreams of becoming a pilot like his grandfather. Now, he’s made those dreams a reality and will pilot our tours and teach passionate students how to fly safely. He says, “Flying means freedom for me, and especially with helicopters, you can do so much good–help fighting fires, working in the ambulance, or just bringing joy to other people and showing the world from above. Teaching is a lot of fun when you and your student have the same goals and you work together as a team to achieve them.”

His advice to students? Be humble, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey.
