Johannes Neu
Flight Instructor, CFI

I discovered my love for aviation as a child making trips to Germany to visit my family. Ever since then the sky has called to me. I made my first discovery flight in 2019 and went to Norcal Flight Center to achieve my private pilot and then to ATP to finish my pilot training. I’m excited to come back to where my aviation journey started to help you achieve your aviation goals. I’m currently enrolled in the AVIATE program with United Airlines and plan to work as a pilot with them in the future. Along with my love for aviation I have a passion for travel and have had the blessing of traveling all over the world. I also work as a paramedic and soccer referee. I enjoy hiking and love soccer.
