About Howard J. Cooper
With some 25-years of experience as an educator, Howard came to aviation with a passion for teaching. He holds a Master’s Degree in Education (Boston University), is a Certified Flight Instructor and an Advanced Ground Instructor. He is happiest when teaching – in the classroom or working one-on-one with students. Extraordinarily patient (I’ve raised 3 kids and 3 dogs) Howard uses humor with lots of motivation, inspiration and encouragement to help his student reach their goals. He is a great communicator and relationship-builder, advocate for aviation and a true mentor.

What Are Students Saying?
"I started my flight training at another school and decided I needed a change. A friend with the hanger next to Howard suggested I look into Tailwinds and I've never looked back. Friendly experienced staff and well maintained aircraft make this a great place to learn to fly. The other benefit is training at a towered airport, it really gives you the full experience and helps sharpen your radio skills."
