TruFlight Academy, a new flight school located outside\nTulsa, Oklahoma, has chosen the Cabri G2 as their exclusive training platform.\nTruFlight joins the Cabri USA family as another family run school with a desire\nto bring helicopter training to a geographic region with otherwise few options.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd Guison, TruFlight\u2019s chief pilot chose the Cabri G2 based\non safety, modern technology, and because it is designed for training features,\nall making the G2 an obvious choice. \u201cThe real deciding factor for us was the\nsupport. We knew from our conversations with Precision and Guimbal that when we\nhad an issue, they would have a solution. For a small school, it is imperative\nwe have people in our corner who understand not only how to keep the aircraft\nup and running but are also willing to share in our passion and support our\nbusiness. That\u2019s what you get with you choose Cabri USA.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd and Scarlett Guison, along with their children, are the\nmagic behind TruFlight. Todd grew up in a military family and was specifically\ninfluenced by his grandfather who was a WWII aviator. Todd grew up hearing\nthese stories and dreaming of one day joining the family legacy. At a young\nage, he went to his uncle\u2019s change of command and sat in a helicopter for the\nfirst time. \u201cI remember thinking this is the coolest thing I\u2019d seen in my whole\nlife, there was no going back,\u201d says Todd Guison. Todd was serious about this\ncareer path and started flying airplanes as a teenager and into college. After\nhis freshman year he enlisted with the Army for a year before moving to North\nDakota to join ROTC and their helicopter program. Eventually he graduated and\nwent to Army flight school before going on to spend 8 years in active duty\nflying all over the U.S., Europe, Afghanistan, and Korea. Most of his army time\nwas spent in the Black Hawk. He remains part of the National Guard and flies\nthe Lakota on the weekends when he isn\u2019t training his students in the G2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarlett was raised in a family where you should chase your\ndreams. Her background is in marketing, fundraising, and organization of\nresources \u2013 the perfect complement to Todd\u2019s aviation background for running a\nsmall business. After seeing the passion her husband had for teaching, she knew\nthe best thing for her family was for them to take a chance and start their own\nflight school. Scarlett is the one who originally steered Todd toward the\nGuimbal. She may not have been immersed in aviation culture at the time, but\nshe understood if you were going to train students for a future helicopter\ncareer, you should train them in something that sets them up for success \u2013 and\noffers many of the same features they will find in future aircraft, and even some\ncreature comforts such as air conditioning. As a mother, she was particularly\npleased with the G2s safety features, as well as the modern standards it met.\nScarlett\u2019s vision and out of the box thinking is the perfect balance to Todd\u2019s\n12+ years of experience and passion for teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truflight aviation is located at Gundy\u2019s airport outside of\nTulsa, Oklahoma. There is a huge general aviation presence here, with many\nsmall airports, however a very small helicopter community.  In addition to hangar and office facilities\nfor teaching, Truflight has already set up student housing on site for students\ntraveling for their training. They are working towards an FAA Part 141 program\nand partnering with community colleges, fixed wing schools, flying clubs, etc.\nThey have even partnered with a local physical training business to offer\nstudents assistance in meeting their goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guimbal and Precision could not be happier to have a team\nlike TruFlight using the G2 as their training platform. Stories of family run\nschools like this remind us all why we got into aviation in the first place \u2013 a\nwonder for the seemingly impossibility of helicopters, a love for flight in its\npurest form, and a passion to share it with the next generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
