Hi Darren -
Welcome to the PantherCave - glad you joined us. Yes - I enjoyed teasing Dan about marketing the Panther in flight, that was interesting to hear over the radio from the ground :D

Hi Friends and Family of the Panther Team,

My name is Darren Golez who spent 24 years in the U.S. Navy as a Information System Technician and retired as a Chief Petty Officer last year (2/2012). Now, I'm a Flight Instructor at KSGJ working for Florida-Flyers which is a U.S. & European Flight School. I have over 1000 hrs total time and 690 hrs given as a Flight Instructor.

If you need a BFR/IPC feel free to contact me.

Funny story about how I met Dan. I was flying with a student in a Cessna 152 and flying near Haller Airpark. I queried about this his little plane as I saw it doing aerobatics. I was interested in the type of plane he was flying and called him on Haller Traffic frequency. He mentioned to me to search google for Panther Sport Aircraft and that led me to their blog site. Later that weekend, I contacted Rachel and met their family, Bob Woolley, and saw the Panther in person. It's a very pretty bird and I will eventually build one in the future.

All the Best,
Darren Golez, CFI, CFII, MEI
