Episode 56- Jordan Noonan

Episode 56 is out today with guest Jordan Noonan! 

Since getting to visit many cockpits on family trips as a small child, Jordan has always dreamed of being a pilot. After being inspired, he remained exposed to aviation by going to air shows, watching planes through the fence at his local airport, as well as getting to go on scenic flights as a small child. By the time he began with the Air Cadets, his career path was solidified, and he began to fly out of the Windsor International Airport.

After starting flight training in 2001 during high school, he realized he didn’t have enough time to dedicate the attention needed to flight training. In 2006 after taking a year off after graduating, he started flight training full-time. During that time, he has worked for several FBO’s and ground operation companies as a ramp lead, supervisor and manager. 

After completing his CPL in 2014, Jordan started applying to as many float plane operators as he could find online. After being hired by a small company that gives new pilots their start, he moved to Red Lake, Ontario and began working on the dock for the 2015 float season. In 2016 he began flying a Cessna 180 float plane. Since 2019 Jordan has been the Chief Pilot and Outpost Maintenance Manager flying a Dehavilland Beaver for Canadian Fly-in Fishing in Red Lake.

Jordan currently holds a Canadian CPL with the goal of completing his Multi IFR this winter. He hopes to gain a wider variety of float and bush flying experience to reach his goal of becoming a pilot for the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, a role in which he can combine his love of float flying, wildlife conservation, and to have the ability to help communities that are under the threat of wildfires.
