Curtis Penner

Curtis started his aviation journey at the age of 18, but had to suspend it with only 17.8 hours in his logbook when he started his farming career. Twenty seven years later, realizing that time was more valuable than money, he resumed his training, achieving a life-long goal when he got his license in a 90-day period. Since then, following a philosophy of “do it now,” he has flown as much as possible, whenever and wherever he can. Aircraft owned have included a Cessna 150H and a PA-180, and he currently flies an RV-10 and Bearhawk Patrol. In addition to time logged in these, “whenever we travel, we rent an aircraft to see the country, including flights in in Australia, New Zealand, and Costa Rica.” Trips in owned aircraft have been coast to coast in Canada and included southern destinations like the Bahamas, Florida, Texas, and Arizona.
