Teaching others not only the ability to fly but also the love of aviation is described by himself as one of his greatest passions. When Markus is on vacation, flying comes with him, either in southern France or the United States of America. His guilty pleasure in aviation is seaplane operations. He pursues his professional career as a pilot and training pilot with Eurowings. For Markus, flying is more than a profession. The passion of aviation as well as bringing this to others who want to learn to fly is his daily motivation to board any airplane.

Alexander Gerlach
Born and raised in Münsterland and came into contact with aviation at an early age through his parents, who were enthusiastic about flying, so that weekends were preferably spent at the airport.
After graduating from high school and spending time in the German Military, the actual goal of studying medicine was abandoned because, after passing the aptitude test, training to become a commercial pilot took place at a large German airline.
However, the joy of flying with smaller aircraft always remained and so further training to become a flight instructor and examiner took place here too.
Sebastian Wischer
The famous “dream of flying” was actually always there, and even the university of applied sciences couldn’t “stop” him and it initially started as a “student assistant” on the ramp in DUS, then continued with the PPL from 2005 onwards to a long-term job in the OPS of a flight operation in general aviation with later “part-time pilot” from 2010 on the Learjet and the ATPL theory in the bag.
In 2014, he switched to scheduled flight operations, including obtaining the longed-for “4 stripes” and various activities in compliance management.
During the Corona period, the cards were reshuffled and contact with Holger was established and the SEP was quickly refreshed again and a new desire for flying arose with unforgettable tours, almost on our doorstep.
Today Sebastian is flying “back to the roots” in general aviation on a PC12, managing a factory flight operation and looking forward to sharing experiences from almost 5,000 flight hours.
