My name is Ben Zwebner and I am a Certified Flight Instructor with the Washington International Flight Academy based out of the
Montgomery County Airpark (KGAI) in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

I have been flying since 2004 and I have over 1,450 flight hours with hundreds of hours of instruction experience.

If you're looking to explore the skies,  surprise a loved one with a romantic sunset flight, learn to fly, advance in your training or just need to take your Bi-Annual Flight Review,  don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail!           -Ben Zwebner  CFI




Stephen after his first solo, congratulations!


Get rid at the outset of the idea that the airplane is only an air-going sort of automobile. It isn't. It may sound like one and smell like one, and it may have been interior decorated to look like one; but the difference is — it goes on wings.
