    I understand that Jan Driessen has completed his 35000th glider flight. An amazing accomplishment and at his age he can still GET IT UP. Rich should insist that Mihai double his salary.

    Congratulations Jan! Seems like he has been instructing at Montague and Truckee in the Summers and Florida in the Winters for as long as I can remember!
    Way to go, Chili Pepper!

    Jan represents the very best in aviation. Professional, fun and the best pilot and instructor I've flown with. The best part of my job, I get to see him and listen to his ground school tips everyday while he is working with students. I learn something
    every day.
