Glen Davis
CFI
Glen is from Tomball, Texas. His interest in aviation started as a child from trips visiting his Grandmother in Romania with his Mom; which is what sparked his fascination with engines and mechanics from watching such massive machines take flight. While at Texas Tech a friend from his church convinced him to take a discovery flight and from that day he decided to pursue an aviation career. Glen’s favorite plane is a tie between the Concorde and the Boeing 757. Too close to call, they’re both amazing machines!
