Meet "Commander" Andy
Andy Bibber isn’t your average CFI with a clipboard. With over 35 years of flying and roughly 30,000 hours, he’s spent more time in the air than most pilots will spend behind a desk.
Raised in Maine, he learned to fly the way aviation used to be taught —
Summers on floats
Winters on skis
Hopping frozen lakes instead of paved runways
From there, he went on to cropdust for a living — then spent 20 years in Alaska hauling people, freight, fuel, animals, and anything else that could be stuffed through a cabin door. If it could be flown, he flew it. If it could be landed on, he landed on it.
No ego. No BS. Andy is one of the most effective instructors you’ll meet — part philosopher, part bush pilot, part mechanic. He teaches from experience, not theory, and his goal isn’t to impress you — it’s to make you better.
His team includes a crew of equally seasoned pilots who combine deep technical knowledge with a relentlessly positive attitude. It’s not flight training — it’s skill building with people who live for it.
His flying tips and trick reels regularly pull hundreds of thousands of views online, and you’ll quickly see why — he makes real flying make sense.
