Nestled in the beautiful Gunnison Valley, On The Fly Aviation brings passion, experience, and adventure together to create unforgettable aviation experiences. Founded by Tanith Martinez, a lifelong aviation enthusiast who discovered her love for flying while traveling through Alaska, the company reflects decades of dedication to the skies. Tanith has been flying since 1998 and built her career as a professional flight instructor, guiding aspiring pilots with knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm. Her background includes teaching at multiple flight schools and serving as a civilian flight instructor for the United States Air Force through Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and Doss Aviation, giving her a depth of experience that benefits every student and guest

With the support of her husband, Jerry Martinez, On The Fly Aviation was created to bring high-quality flight training, scenic flights, and air services to the Gunnison and Crested Butte communities. Extensive mountain flying experience allows Tanith to safely navigate and showcase the breathtaking landscapes that make Colorado unique. Every flight is an opportunity to inspire confidence, share knowledge, and spark the same excitement for aviation that first took flight many years ago. Whether someone is dreaming of becoming a pilot or simply wants to experience the beauty of the Rockies from above, each journey is designed to be welcoming, professional, and truly memorable.
