Tailwinds Flight Education
About
Tailwinds is a brand-new flight school offering flying lessons at Northeast Philadelphia Airport. Like many businesses, I’d like to think we’re unique, but that’s something you’ll have to decide for yourself. What I can promise you right from the get-go is complete honesty in who we are and what we do. You’ll find no stock photos of corporate jets or uniformed flight officers gazing skyward. No vague promises. What you will find is reliable information you can use to make informed decisions about pilot training that works for you.

About the Owner Howard-
With some 25-years of experience as an educator, Howard came to aviation with a passion for teaching. He holds a Master’s Degree in Education (Boston University), is a Certified Flight Instructor and an Advanced Ground Instructor. He is happiest in the classroom or working one-on-one with students. Extraordinarily patient (I’ve raised 3 kids and 3 dogs) Howard uses humor with lots of motivation, inspiration and encouragement to help his student reach their goals. He is a great communicator and relationship-builder, advocate for aviation and a true mentor.
