Chickadee Aviation Flight Deck

Hi! My name is Zion Gurney, I am a Certified Flight Instructor. I first found my passion for aviation as a young kid flying in my grandfather’s hot air balloon. I went to ATP flight school, where I achieved my Private, and Commercial license, along with my Instrument rating. From there I started my CFI training with Chickadee Aviation, I am now glad to be teaching alongside my instructors. If I am not flying, I enjoy being with my fiancé on the lake, fishing, golfing, and being on a Harley. If you’re looking to fulfill your life long dreams of becoming a pilot I would be honored to help you achieve your goals!!

 Howdy! My name is Michael and I am a CFI/CFII and also hold my Seaplane Rating and Tailwheel Endorsement. I’m new to Maine after completing my flight training in both Northern Idaho and Long Island, NY. I’ve previously worked for Fish and Wildlife in California and Washington but grew up in Minneapolis, MN! When I’m not in the airplane you’ll find me fly fishing, mountain biking, or enjoying a good bite to eat. I’ve found my calling in aviation and I can’t wait to share it with you! 

 Hello there! My name is Eric Anton and I am a highly skilled Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). My aviation journey began as a cadet member of the Civil Air Patrol from ages 14-16, and I was hooked on flying ever since. After high school, I pursued my passion for aviation and obtained my Private Pilot License, Instrument Rating, and Commercial License at the prestigious ATP flight school in Daytona Beach. Upon returning to Maine, I earned my CFI rating and I have since amassed over 1200 hours of flight time, including 800 hours of dual given. At just 25 years old, I am proud to share my passion and expertise with aspiring aviators and I am dedicated to helping them achieve their dreams in the skies.
