About Justin Stork

I’m a Commercial Pilot, flying a King Air 200/B200 as a Contract SIC for a part 135 operation, and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), who is passionate about operational precision, safety, and professionalism in the air. After more than a decade managing logistics, travel, and large television production teams, I transitioned into aviation, bringing with me a deep respect for detail, a strong sense of responsibility, and a proven ability to perform under pressure.I began flight training in early 2024, and have recently earned my Flight Instructor Certificate and Airplane Multi-Engine Land Rating and am actively working toward my Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument (CFII) rating. I have logged over 600 hours of flight time across various conditions, including cross-country, night, and instrument operations. I maintain a First Class Medical Certificate with no restrictions and have a clean record with NO FAA violations or check ride failures.What sets me apart is the unique combination of technical flying ability and leadership experience. In my television production career, I coordinated global logistics, managed six-figure budgets, negotiated vendor contracts, and collaborated with teams of all sizes to deliver results in high-stakes environments. That commitment to planning, adaptability, and communication informs how I approach every flight.My long-term objective is to serve in commercial passenger operations, where I can contribute to a safety-focused, service-driven team. I’m open to roles that allow me to continue growing as a pilot while applying my organizational and leadership strengths in a dynamic aviation environment.Outside the cockpit, I’m a husband and father. My lifelong passion for aviation began during childhood visits to the hangar with my father, an A&P mechanic. That early exposure has grown into a calling, and I bring that same sense of purpose to every flight.
