Wesley Walker

I have always had a love for flying. When I was in the North Carolina Air National Guard I started flying in 2011. I then earned my private, instrument, commercial and tail wheel licenses by 2013.  I earned my CFI in 2019 and love flying conventional and tail wheel aircraft. Come and see me!
