It is my pleasure to announce that the General Aviation Awards Committee has selected Dave Strassburg as the Eastern Regional Flight Instructor of the Year for 2021. This is the second year in a row that Dave has been selected as a regional award winner. Last year he was selected by the committee for the category of Safety Representative of the Year for the Eastern US.
The award committee is made up of recognized aviation professionals that have made contributions to the general aviation community. You can find out more about the judges here (you might recognize some of these folks!). http://www.generalaviationawards.com/judges/
Dave volunteers a lot of time with the local flying community, and it was great to see that he was selected as the Flight Instructor of the Year for the Eastern US.
Dave works as a corporate jet pilot for a large operation, and when he is not flying at his day job, you will usually find him happily flight instructing at Northampton Aeronautics at 7B2. Dave is a Gold Seal Flight Instructor, an ATP, and has his CFI, CFII, and MEI. Dave is also a Glider Flight Instructor and teaches in the Redbird Flight Training Device at Northampton, Massachusetts.
Dave volunteers his time as a Lead Safety Representative and WINGSPro with the FAASTeam with both the Bradley, CT and Boston, MA, Flight Standards District Offices. There is a good chance that you might have seen him presenting, or helping out with a local presentation in the New England area. Dave has also been a resource for pilots that might have a question and feel more comfortable speaking with a Safety Rep, or want to improve their proficiency proactively. He also helps out a lot of folks that have questions about how to get their WINGS Credit and navigating the online site, and he does this as a volunteer. It is a lot of work and a lot of phone calls that he takes!
If you see Dave, please tell him thank you…and congratulations!
Best Regards,
