Gage
Gold Seal CFI
Hey there! My name is Gage Warner, a CFI, CFII, and MEI.
I am a First generation aviator whose interest in flying was sparked by a combined love of travel, learning, and that spark happened the first time I had seen a GA plane up close in February of 2022, sitting on a frozen lake on a trip to Alaska.
I learned to fly right here in the Sacramento Valley, at the Sac Exec airport, completing my 7 certs & ratings in 11 months. I then moved to Texas for a year and a half, instructing at a large part 141 school.
I love sharing aviation and all it entails with others, in hopes of helping realize their dreams!
Jeshua
Hiya! My name is Jeshua Holmes and
I am a Certified Flight Instructor (Instrument).
I began my aviation journey as a kindergartener when I had the opportunity to visit the flight deck of a Lockheed Martin L-1011 at a nearby airshow. In February 2024, I started working on my Private Pilot Certificate, and most recently earned my Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument certification in August 2025.
I have found aviation to be a life changing experience which is difficult to put into words, and I would love to partner with prospective pilots and help them discover it. I view my instruction as a collaborative experience, where I both seek to challenge my students but encourage them to challenge me as well. I believe that in flight instruction, each person always has room to learn, no matter how much time they have in a plane. Outside of aviation, I’m an avid rock climber, which I’ve found to provide a lot of useful life lessons which also apply to the flight deck.
Nathan
My passion for aviation started early—around the age of 10—when my dad first introduced me to the world of flying. What began as curiosity quickly turned into a lifelong pursuit.
Years later, in 2017, I earned my Private Pilot Certificate, followed by my A&P Certificate in 2018, deepening both my flying skills and technical understanding of aircraft.
I came to Spitfire Aviation to continue my journey, training for my Instrument and Commercial ratings. From there, I pushed even further, earning my CFI and CFII so I could share the same excitement for aviation that first inspired me years ago.
Today, I’m proud to be teaching here at Spitfire, helping the next generation of pilots take their first steps into the sky. There’s few things more rewarding than watching someone discover the freedom and thrill of flight for the very first time.
James
Greetings friends, aviators, and those reaching for the sky! I’d love to share the challenges, joy, freedom, and spectacular views of aviation with you, just as I’ve enjoyed them for nearly twenty years. I’ve been fortunate enough to fly aircraft to 23 states, including coast-to-coast flights, and I have a passion for teaching both new and existing pilots how to truly use their aircraft for personal travel to far-away places.
My specialties are teaching in modern, technically advanced aircraft including Cirrus and Diamond aircraft, as well as teaching real-world instrument flying that will make you confident working as a team with air traffic control. I’m a California native but have spent time living and flying on both coasts, and recently left a life-long career in the technology industry to dedicate myself to professional aviation full-time.
Come join the most genuine, caring, and safety conscious group of aviators you’ll ever find, at The Spitfire Flight School, and start your aviation journey or work towards a fulfilling new pilot certificate or rating. I’d love to answer any questions you may have; please feel free to message me here!
