Scott Saunders

Scott Saunders is an C-5 and C-17 Air Force pilot, an FAA Gold Seal flight instructor and a CFI with instrument and multi-engine ratings.

He is also has glider experience, Sea plane, and served as an instructor at the Air Force Academy.

Scott instructs using his restored 1955 Cessna 170B based at Potomac Airfield, Maryland (KVKX).

Using this classic tailwheel aircraft, Scott's focus is on "back to basics" flying and fundamentals that transfer to any aircraft: altitude flying, directional control, preflight planning and aeronautical decision making. 

Working with his partner instructors, Scott will also design "navigation trips" for selected clients that combine experience building and practical in-flight exercises with day trips or overnight trips.

Examples of destination attractions include:

• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (attractions, from authentic cheese steaks to the Liberty Bell)
• New York City (including aerial views of the Statue of Liberty and Hudson River VFR Corridor)
• Boston, Massachusetts (may include landings on Cape Cod, Nantucket and/or Martha's Vineyards)
• Atlantic City, New Jersey (dining, nightlife and casinos)
• The Chesapeake Bay (rich with nautical and colonial history)
• The Outer Banks of North Carolina, with beaches, hang-gliding and First Flight Airport, North Carolina and Myrtle Beach
• The Shenandoah Valley, with beautiful caverns, hiking and camping
