Dean is an outstanding pilot and a person of character! I have had the privilege of flying with him in a jet and I would put my family on board an aircraft with him any day. Tons of experience and a gracious personal manner.

Dean is organized, and extremely structured. He has a background in aviation that’s nearly impossible to beat. He is not only piston proficient but he is also Vision Jet rated and proficient. I was a student with Dean for nearly two years and found his notes to be the best of any instructor I have ever worked with. His knowledge of flight operations is mature and professional. He is literally the best instructor in Utah. Dean made me a much safer and more proficient pilot.

Dean Jones at Air Corgi was my flight instructor for my PPL and for my instrument rating.

I highly recommend him for your flight instruction needs.
