Wes Head comes from a family of pilots – his father, uncles, and brother are all pilots. Much of his youth was spent in the backseat of a Cessna 172 with his brother William; with mom Donna and Dad Bill in front piloting the plane. Wes served three years in the U.S. Army’s elite 1st Ranger Battalion. Afterwards, he attended and graduated Cum Laude from the University of Tulsa with a BA in International Business and Spanish. Wes is an FAA certificated Senior Parachute Rigger and has over 1,200 civilian skydives. Wes earned his F.A.A. Pilot’s certificate in 1988, and has since flown various types of aircraft all over the world. These range from the venerable Piper J-3 “Cub” to a Gulfstream 3 corporate jet. During the winter months he often flies the Beaver's big brother – A De Havilland Twin Otter. Out of all the aircraft he has flown, flying the de Havilland Beaver on floats is by far the most enjoyable. He has over 13,000 accident-free hours and holds an Airline Transport Pilot certificate as well as being a Check Airmen. He is the best pilot in the world (says webmistress/wife/#1 fan Angela). Wes found his home when he arrived in Homer in 2007, and tries to give back to his community as much as he can. He spent 16 years with the Homer Volunteer Fire Department and still holds Firefighter 2, EMT 2 and Fire Engineer Certificates and is a member of the Homer Post of American Legion. Wes speaks fluent Spanish, a bit of Portuguese, and loves meeting people from all over the world. Se Habla Español.
