MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
John Peltier
My aviation career began in the U.S. Air Force, where I flew F-15Es for nearly a decade - including 114 combat missions over Afghanistan - and later served as an instructor overseeing academic content for all F-15E training squadrons.
After transitioning to civilian life, I became a helicopter flight instructor and have since trained hundreds of students. Along the way, I developed a proven system to simplify the toughest parts of flight training, like airspace and weather, so anyone can learn them with confidence.
Today, I fly both manned and unmanned aircraft for projects ranging from documentary photography to mapping and serve as a Civil Air Patrol UAS Instructor Pilot. Teaching is in my DNA, and I’m excited to help you earn your Remote Pilot certificate.
