Shane McAlister Made it from Zero Time to CFI!

He's the one. He’s the only, and his name is Shane McAlister! Gosh, this guy again… if he wasn’t such a smiley go-lucky guy, I’d be sick of him… just kidding! Today is a tremendous day for Shane because he has officially earned his Certified Flight Instructor rating! And what better way to do it than earning it in the plane he soloed in… that’s right, to make it full circle, N37JA has seen Shane go from a wee baby solo pilot to Mr. Hot Shot CFI. And to add the cherry on top, Shane has achieved the impressive milestone of going from zero time to CFI all with Great Basin Aviation! With an insatiable drive and a clear goal in mind, Shane is unstoppable when you get him going. From the nightmares of lesson planning to juggling the quirks of learning how to fly in the right seat, Shane did it all and he did it with style. Let’s give this amazing aviator a huge round of applause for this incredible achievement! And while we’re at it, let’s also give a huge thank you to his flight instructor, Ryan Mill, who has been with Shane for instrument, commercial, and now CFI. Awesome work you two! Now get out there and celebrate!
