About Patrick Cabral

I love to fly. I learned to fly before I learned to drive. I earned my pilot’s license at age 17 and never had a greater passion than flying. I became a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) in June of 2006 prior to enlisting in the Marine Corps. Upon completion of basic training, I was accepted into the Aviation Management Program at The Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio.

After spending 6 years in the Marine Corps Reserves and graduating from OSU in 2011, I returned to California and resumed my flight instruction profession. I have been a pilot for over 10 years. They say that having a pilot’s license is a license to learn. As an active CFI, I couldn’t agree more. Flying is a continuous learning experience. I can help you begin your journey. A journey that ill be a truly challenging and a life changing experience.

Ferrying Aircraft

There are times in a pilot’s life where one contemplates buying their first airplane. When that time comes and the purchase is complete, it is a great feeling of pride. Then comes the unique decision of flying the plane home or paying a more experienced pilot to ferry the plane home. So, have you recently purchase an airplane that is based in another state?

There are many reasons why a private pilot may want to hire a ferry pilot to safely fly their plane home. Have you moved to a new home, across the country, and had to leave your plane behind? This is more common than one might think. The amount of logistics can be exhausting when transporting an airplane. Most people have a very high demand on their time; in a world where time is money, it only makes sense to hire an experienced pilot to bring your plane to you.
