Who we are
The people who make your aviation dreams take flight.
Eric & Tia Komberec

We launched Altitude Aviation Academy to share our love of flight with others. As a husband and wife team, we built this school around family values, safety, and student success. We’re raising our two littlest copilots right here in Montana.
