The Master Instructor Community has lost a shining light.
John “Jack” Wesley Vandeventer 1952-2024 has flown West. Throughout his life, he remained devoted to his lifelong passion for aviation, becoming a CFI-I flight instructor and accumulating more than 6,000 flight hours. He was recognized as a Master CFI by the National Association of Flight Instructors in 2005 and 2008 and was awarded the FAA Gold Seal for instructing excellence in 2006. From 2005 through 2018, Jack maintained his Master CFI awarded by Master Instructors LLC and received the Master Instructor Emeritus Award in 2018. He was an enthusiastic supporter of general aviation and thoroughly enjoyed the many friendships he built through flying. Jack was a regular presenter for several years at aviation events such as EAA’s Oshkosh AirVenture and SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo, as well as a volunteer instructor in Redbird flight simulators during those events.
Jack will be missed by all who had the opportunity to “fly through life” with him.
