Eric is a CFII!

You might be thinking, "Wait a minute, isn’t that Eric Harned?! GBA CFI? " Yes, it is! Eric took a break from teaching all of you today and instead taught the examiner a thing or two about instrument flying. Even in the perils of skyrocketing temperatures, Eric managed to stay cool enough to earn his CFII certificate! As if Eric wasn’t already juggling enough titles—CFI, husband, Dad, and President/Founder of the FAR AIM Tabbers—he now has CFII to add to his ever-growing business card titles. Eric started out at GBA way back when, and we practically had to beg him to come back as a CFI. You know if we begged for him to teach here, he must be pretty great! Just ask anyone who’s flown with him. We love giving Eric a hard time, but if you’ve met him, you know he’s one of the most humble, kindest, and compassionate instructors around (even if he insists on being modest about it). We’re super excited to celebrate this accomplishment with him. Excellent work, Eric—it’s certainly well deserved. And let’s not forget the legendary Jedi Master and CFII, Richard Brong, who guided Eric along his path to victory. Congratulations to both of you! If you see Eric around on the flight line or in the office, make sure to give him a huge congrats on this awesome achievement!
