Since
learning to fly nearly 20 years ago, Christine
“CC” Gerner has logged over 10,000 hours
of flight time in a variety of aircraft
ranging from antique biplanes to state
of the art Transport Category Airliners.
Although her substantial aviation experience
extends from General Aviation to Corporate,
Commuter and Major Airlines, it was her
early years as an athlete that were instrumental
in developing the focus and drive for
which she is now known.
As a world class freestyle skier, CC skied
competitively throughout Europe and the
United States establishing herself
as a highly motivated and enthusiastic
participant.

That, along with her
training in gymnastics and diving, made
it only natural that, when introduced
to aviation, she would gravitate to the
high energy, adrenalin packed world of
Unlimited Aerobatics.
CC began her Aerobatic
training in a Super Decathlon at Mike
Goulian’s School in Bedford, Massachusetts
and in short order graduated to the unlimited
class Extra 300L whereupon she continued
her training in St. Augustine, Florida.
The skills derived from her early years
as an athlete were ideally suited to Christine’s
new found ambition and it

surprised no one when
she progressed rapidly, earning her low
altitude aerobatic waiver just six months
into her training and now flying at the
hair-raising Advanced and Unlimited levels.
CC’s infectious
enthusiasm for the sport and energetic
approach to flying provide nothing short
of a guarantee of future successes in
the aerobatic field.
CC currently flies for a major Airline and
lives in Lakeville, Minnesota. |
