About Joel Neuman

I was born in the 60’s, Bell-Bottom Jeans, Beatlemania, Tie Dye T-shirts and so forth. But for me, I was fascinated with aviation and becoming an astronaut.

I was born in Chicago but grew up in Montreal, Canada and the opportunities to pursue such a high flying profession were, at the time, non-existent. Instead I took the well worn path of high school, university and then medical school. I never gave up my passion for aviation and between study breaks I would try and take off and land a using versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator beginning with 1.0 through MSFS 2000. Then, in June of 2000 I finally began to fly for real and after my first Discovery Flight I was hooked.

For a long time I flew recreationally until few years ago when I decided to combine my passion for teaching and flying and obtain my flight instructors certificate. While I’m probably too old for astronaut school (insert wink here) I am nevertheless very excited to share my passion and experience of flying with anyone interested.

Fly smart and stay safe

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."
