Derek Emmert, helicopter pilot

I chose Silverhawk Aviation for many reasons. The training they offer, along with the diverse climates and terrain of Idaho makes Silverhawk a great place to start your helicopter career. I would not be where I am today without Silverhawk.

I started at Silverhawk with no aviation experience and over the following year I became a knowledgeable and capable pilot. Because of the training I received, I am now one of the very few aerial saw pilots in the USA. I know that without this great school I would not be doing what I love to do.

I spent about a year training and I was then fortunate enough to be hired as a flight instructor where I fine- tuned my knowledge and skills. From there I set out to grow my career and find this great job. I encourage anyone interested in aviation to give Silverhawk a try. I know that it was the right choice for me and it will be the right choice for you.
