Nathan Johnson
Flight Instructor/Charter Pilot
Nathan has always wanted to be a pilot; it wasn’t until he made the move from Cochrane to Pigeon Lake that it finally became a reality. He has completed his entire flight training here in Wetaskiwin, including most recently his Group 1 instrument and instructor rating. Growing up on the farm Nathan still spends a few hours here and there in the field, but most of his time not spent in the air he can likely be found on the lake, reading, or thinking about his next flight.
