Meet Our Pilots

Darryl Fisher – President, Founder, Third-Generation Pilot, Problem Solver

I always just thought airplanes were part of life. Planes weren’t much different than the family car. I got my pilot’s license in 1983 when I was 19. Since then I’ve gotten commercial, multiengine, flight instructor, and seaplane ratings. My favorite plane to fly is the one I happen to be in. Nothing replaces the magic of a Legacy Flight in a Stearman, but just from a pure flight standpoint, I love flying my J3 Cub. It’s just pure flying.

Clint Cawley – Pilot

Clint, grew up surrounded by aviation at South Prairie Airport in Washington. He began flight training at 14 in his family’s PA-11 Cub with his uncle and dad as primary instructors. He soloed on his 16th birthday; got his private licence shortly thereafter; and continued flight school, with the goal of becoming an airline pilot.

Clint achieved that goal and was an Embraer E175 captain at SkyWest Airlines and now a pilot for United Airlines. “I’m based in Seattle, live at South Prairie Airport and fly every chance I can get,” he says. “I have flown many different airplanes, and my favorite is still the Stearman with the stock 225hp Lycoming engine.”

James Sims – Pilot

I’ve been a professional pilot for three years. Doing everything from flight instructing, towing gliders, landing on rivers and lakes and flying cargo.

Nothing is better than being allowed the opportunity to meet veterans and their families. Being able to thank heroes and provide a lasting memory for them is truly an honor.
