About the pilot, Tom McKnight, CFI, CFII:
Tom’s passion for airplanes began in the 1950’s when his uncle, a former Tuskegee Airman raised on the Eastern Shore, landed his surplus WWII aircraft on a grass strip near his home in Ridgely, Maryland. He soloed in 1972 at College Park airport while studying aerospace engineering at the University of Maryland. After graduating as a distinguished graduate of Air Force ROTC, Tom spent twenty years in the Air Force as an aviator and aeronautical engineer, including a stint at the US Naval Academy as a mechanical engineering instructor and VTNA flight instructor. After retiring from the Air Force in 1994, he joined the faculty of Delaware State University as Chairman and Associate Professor in the Airway Science Department and managed the school’s FAA Part 141 flight school. For the past several years, Tom has been at FAA Headquarters as an engineer with the NextGen program and is currently an Aviation Safety Inspector in the General Aviation and Commercial Division. Tom holds an airline transport pilot certificate, Gold Seal CFI/CFII/MEI, sport gyroplane endorsement, and advanced ground instructor certificates. He has logged over 6500 hours in over 80 military and civilian aircraft and rotorcraft.
