Skywest Airlines Pilot
"I have known Bruce Vogel for almost 10 years, and I studied and flew with him in 1998. He is a very qualified, experienced and inspirational instructor and friend.
Bruce recommended me and was instrumental in getting me hired at Great Lakes Aviation, my first airline job. Bruce has also been a great mentor and friend through the years.
Since working with Bruce I have obtained type ratings in the Beech 1900 and the SA-227 Metroliner. I am now flying an EMB-120 for Skywest Airlines.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bruce to all as a very professional and highly qualified instructor.

"I chose TailWind Aviation because I saw that they knew how to help me get my training done in less time with less money.
Bruce Vogel has done an excellent job using his knowledge, experience and expertise to help prepare me for the airlines — I was able to go from zero-time to hired by Great Lakes in just 18 months. After 15 months with Great Lakes, I have surpassed the 1500 hour mark and am currently prepared to upgrade to Captain.
I have seen firsthand the value of TailWind's emphasis on learning in the simulator, then practicing in the airplane. This approach has made my flight time much more productive as well as cost-effective."
