Master Instructors and the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators is honored to announce that Rochelle Oslick of Oxnard, California has received her Fourth Accreditation as a Master Instructor-Aerobatic. She is the only active female MCFI-A in the Master Instructor Continuing Education Program.
Rochelle learned to fly at the Edwards AFB Flying Club, while stationed there as a USAF Flight Test Engineer. She started flying tailwheel/aerobatic airplanes at Santa Paula Airport in 1988. Rochelle’s aerospace engineering career led her to work at Lockheed, Douglas Aircraft Company, and The Boeing Company, so she based her flying at several other airports in southern California and in western Washington. In 2003, Rochelle started flight instructing part-time, mostly in tailwheel and aerobatic airplanes, in the Seattle area. After retiring from Boeing, Rochelle returned to her favorite airport, KSZP, and is a CFI at CP Aviation. In addition to flying the airplanes in the CP Aviation fleet, Rochelle enjoys flying her own Christen Eagle II aerobatic biplane.
