Seth C.
ASST. CHIEF INSTRUCTOR
My love for aviation started when I was in the Marines, where I was fortunate enough to fly in many different aircraft. I was a Sniper in the Marines and later became a police officer. A few years ago, my family and I returned to Cypress, TX (where I grew up) so I could fully pursue a career in aviation and flight instruction.
I make sure to build a positive and comfortable environment with my students.
Off the clock I enjoy family time, hunting, shooting, and repeatedly humbling my dad in golf.

Ron P.

My passion for aviation began at age six, when my family took my father to the airport in Nederland, Texas, for weekly work flights. Watching him wave from a DC-3 sparked a fascination with airplanes that remains today.
My first flight in a Cessna 172 came in 1981, and getting to take the controls hooked me instantly. I became a flight instructor in 2012 and now enjoy sharing aviation as a CFI and MEI, helping students achieve their flying goals.
Giving Back
At Texas Flight, giving back is just part of who we are. We believe in building strong community ties and passing on the love of aviation, Texas-style. That commitment comes to life through our monthly cookouts and FAA safety meetings, where pilots, students, and aviation enthusiasts gather to swap stories, sharpen their skills, and stay up to date on the latest safety practices.
We also host regular customer appreciation events as a way to say thank you to the pilots and families who make Texas Flight what it is. Our success is rooted in the passion of our customers, and we believe the best way to show our gratitude is by bringing folks together and celebrating the aviation community we’ve built.
Supporting aviation education is a cornerstone of our mission. Over the years, we’ve proudly hosted events such as the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals Aviation Career Education Day, aviation-themed birthday parties, and educational programs for both private and public schools. We’ve also welcomed organizations like Women in Aviation, highlighting the important role women play in shaping the future of our industry.
Texas Flight is more than a place to learn how to fly—it’s a community bound by a shared passion for aviation and a Texas-sized commitment to giving back. We invite you to join us as we continue to promote aviation education, safety, and community—on the ground and in the air.
