Fly Texas, Luling

Jeff Hunt probably understood the trajectory of his career path in a way most people don't. Jeff is a CFI (certified flight instructor) in weight shift control through the FAA flying Special Light Sport Aircraft. With an aerospace engineering degree from the University of Texas at Austin and experience working with Tracor Aerospace after college, he is very familiar with how things move forward. Though most aerospace engineers are focused on building spaceships and watering blooming stars, Hunt chose to focus on hang gliders. Over the past 42 years, he has competed in cross-country hang-gliding competitions and become a USHPA-certified advanced instructor. At Fly Texas and Fly Mexico, he shares his passion with students during the intro classes and they learn from his experience with advanced lessons moving forward.
