Andy Briggs
Since I was a kid, I have always wanted to fly. I have been fascinated with it. I started my training in May of 2004. I earned my Private Pilot's license from Professional Flight Training at Brainard Airport in Hartford, CT. In 2005, I enrolled into Westfield State College's Aviation Management Bachelor's Degree Program. Right away, I saw Five Star Flight Academy's competitive advantage over other flight schools because of it's relationship with Westfield State College. Because of this relationship, I was able to enjoy the benefits of a college degree program and this helped me to fast-track earning my Instrument, Commercial and Flight Instructor ratings. I became a new Flight Instructor in February of 2008, and I am enjoying every minute of it. It has made every piece of the journey up to this point worth it. I just broke through 350 hours total time. My goal for 2008 is to reach 500 hours total time and earn my multi-engine rating. Working with my colleagues and students at Five Star Flight Academy has been a wonderful experience. I also work part-time at MassMutual's Flight department, and so I am able to learn in detail about corporate aviation. I can honestly say I'm having the most fun at work I've ever had; I am having a blast!!
