Get to Know Keith West

  • I am owner of Rexair, a medium sized flight school with locations in Naples and Sebring, Florida. In Naples we concentrate on recreational pilots in Cirrus aircraft while our Sebring location is oriented to professional pilot training. We train under both 61 and 141 regulations. I am responsible for overall strategy and organization.

  • I learned to fly in high school, then flew in the navy. I came to flight training later after founding an early Internet travel business. 

  • Aviation is full of great people and there is no end to what you can do and learn. 

  • I have great respect for the founders and believed in their vision of a policy oriented organization. 

  • Pay attention to the trends and evolve with the technology. 

Meet the leaders shaping the future of flight training
