My name is Adam Cope. I am a commercial pilot ASEL, AMEL, I. Certified Flight
Instructor and Advanced Ground Instructor. But most of all, I love flying and teaching aerobatics.
Total time 3000+
Time
as instructor 2300+
Aerobatic instruction time 2000+
I started
flying in 1989 and flight instructing in 1993. Flying straight and level all the time got a little boring, so
I took some aerobatic lessons. It didn't take long before addiction set in. Since then I've logged more
hours upside down then upright.
I've been
very fortunate to be able to log dual with some of the best aerobatic pilots around. I've flown many aerobatic aircraft
including the Su-29, extra 300 and 200, Pitts s2a s2b and s2c, cap 10b, T-6. I wish I could afford them all.
Through competitions
and air shows, I've been able to meet some of the most incredible people in the world. There really is a great
group of people in the aerobatic community. There is always room for more.
I'm a firm
believer in aerobatic training for every pilot. It gives people a better understanding of how aircraft fly and perform.
It builds confidence like no other training can. Most of all, it’s just plain fun.
I strive to put
fun in aviation. I want everyone who comes through my hangar to smile. After all, what could be better than flying?
(Other than flying upside down)
