Friday's Fabulous Flyer!
Sue Ballew
Sue has been a full -time independent Flight Instructor in
the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 10 years.
She has won numerous awards from several organizations including AOPA
and the Ninety-Nines for her contributions to aviation and flight
instructing, and she just keeps giving! Wait until the end of this post to see what she is going to give to one lucky winner!
“Live the Dream, Learn to Fly”
Sue is not any ordinary flight instructor...
she is one of the best!
Gold Seal Flight Instructor
CFI of the Year 2012 – West Valley Flying Club
Professional Woman Pilot of the Year 2012 –
Southwest Section Ninety-Nines, Inc.
NAFI – Master Flight instructor
Skytrekker Aviation
Prior to instructing in the
Bay Area, she flew for American Eagle in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Cuba, and
Miami. But Sue wanted a different life. Besides, whomever thinks you can't make a living being a flight instructor, Sue has proven them wrong. Not only does she have control of her schedule, but she is doing what she loves, and giving a gift to the many people she teaches daily.
Being an independent flight instructor has also given Sue the opportunity to
also use and develop her marketing and entrepreneurial skills by developing an
online presence in aviation with a website, blog, newsletter, and other
marketing sites.
Then there was coffee!
Since her first trip to Europe in the ‘80s, Sue has enjoyed
and appreciated great coffee, especially espresso. With an eye open for a new venture and
a desire to expand her entrepreneurship, she began selling a variety of
products online, including coffee. But something was missing ...
Her own brand.
Give a woman and idea to spark imagination and what happens? She births something great. This time it was ...
Jetstream Coffee
Jet Stream Coffee was inspired by her passion for flying, everything aviation, travel, and a great cup of coffee.
With a tagline of....
“Where will the JetStream take You today?”
Sue hopes
to inspire people to dream about flying to far-away places while they savor a delicious cup of JetStream Coffee.

ReplyDeleteDear Sue Ballew
I read your story of your flight instructing and the coffee project, unfortunately my Amazon, I live
Nottingham England. I have your coffee website stored so will place an order very shortly.
Ive always been into aviation, both my father and his were in Royal Air Force, his father joined as aircraft
mechanic Royal Flying Corps 1917.
I was trying for my PPL back in 1991 but due a bad accident at work I was on crutches for two years, did gain
20hrs 4 solo and 2 exams, and yes if the JETSTREAM could work miracles I would return to then an my flying training.
Keep up the good work .
