Justin Wait
Flight Instructor
Justin, a San Diego native, turned his lifelong dream of flying into reality when he started his aviation journey at Montgomery Field (KMYF) in 2020. Training amidst the demanding and busy atmosphere of SoCal TRACON, he developed a passion for IFR flying and dove into the intricacies of the National Airspace System.
With a background as an emergency medical technician, educator, and IT analyst, Justin's diverse skills enhance his role as an aviation professional. His enduring fascination with aviation has guided him to fulfill his dream of making flying a profession, motivating him to assist others in realizing their aviation aspirations.
Outside of aviation, Justin finds fulfillment in baseball, motorsports, playing guitar, cooking, and engaging in artistic pursuits such as drawing and painting. His commitment to aviation is seamlessly woven into his dedication to helping others achieve their flying dreams.
