Conor Burns

Flight Instructor

Ratings: Commercial SEL, CFI, CFII

Growing up on the east coast and moving to Minnesota for university, Conor only recently entered the world of aviation. While exposed to small aircraft at a young age, flying remained a pipe dream while he pursued a degree in exercise science, and sports coaching at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. After commissioning into the National Guard and serving with forward line units, Conor decided to make the jump and attempt to fly for the Army. Since his fiancée made the same jump and currently works as an airline pilot, Conor decided to pursue a future in general aviation on the civilian side while he transitions to flying helicopters for the Guard.
