Every day we get to do what we love, living our lives off the ground and a lot of times behind a desk too. We maintain a comfortable yet very professional atmosphere, conducive to learning and growing as a pilot and enjoying the fellowship that comes with being an aviator. The team at Great Basin Aviation are skilled professionals with several years of experience preparing students for the aviation industry.

Kevin Marshall
Line Manager Kevin is here on the weekdays working GBA’s line. Introduced to aviation by his grandfather who worked as an A&P and for the FAA, Kevin wants to follow in those aviation footsteps and pursue a career in aviation in GA planes. Who doesn’t love the good ol’ 172 😉. When he’s not procrastinating his CFI training, you can find Kevin tinkering with machines or outdoors snowboarding, biking, or hunting.
