We’ve assembled
a highly-qualified team of flight instructors and pilots to prepare

Jeff Acord

Pilot license and has over 2500 hours of flight time in 103 different
makes and models of aircraft. He graduated from Embry Riddle University
with a BS in Professional Aeronautics and spent 24 years as an air
traffic controller.
Jeff has set
five aviation world speed records (so far!) and is one of the very
few pilots in the world to hold records in three platforms. (Those
few include world traveler Steve Fossett, SpaceShip One pilot Mike
Melville and our very own Hollywood Top Gun pilot Dave Riggs.)
Jeff, call sign

and was nominated Aviation Safety Counselor of the Year in 2003. He's
delivered safety seminars and briefings to over 7500 people. He currently
co-hosts the webcast "Perspectives in Aviation Safety".
When not training
civilians for space flight, Jeff takes Incredible Adventures customers
on incredible biplane rides in Carlsbad and works as a Lear jet charter
pilot. He's also a part-time actor and model.
