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! 

  Hi, I’m Braden Laramee, and I’m a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII), and Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI). I grew up in Maine but completed all my flight training at ATP Flight School in Tampa, Florida. From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a pilot after my first flight with my family. I have always dreamed of traveling the world, and being a pilot is the perfect way to make that dream come true! When I'm not flying, you can find me working out, hiking, kayaking, or playing pickup basketball. I can’t wait to share my passion for aviation with you and help you learn how to fly!
