Airplane Academy
I'm obsessed with helping YOU become a pilot and aircraft owner.
My name is Charlie Gasmire. I'm a commercially licensed pilot, aircraft owner, husband, dad, Christ follower.
I feel very fortunate to have grown up around aviation, and I realize that not everyone has others around them supporting them in this incredible journey. My goal with this channel is that it would be an encouraging voice spurring you on in your own aviation story!
