ERIC GENIER
OWNER AND CHIEF OPERATOR
I’ve been in aviation for over 22 years, starting in Switzerland as a mechanic with Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., then learning how to fly in a Piper Cup to later working in the airline industry for over 12 years where I flew the biggest two engine aircraft in the world, the Boeing 777-300ER. For over 15 years I’ve had the passion to fly in America, and in 2022 I made the decision to immigrate into the U.S. and live the American Dream...of FLYING! With the Ohio Flight Center I want to share my way of aviation, my knowledge and my passion with everybody else who is interested to start flying!

MARCEL HOFMANN
FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR
In 2016, I visited America the first time with Eric, and was intrigued with the world of aviation. 3 year later in 2019 during my second trip to the wild wild West of the U.S. and visiting Bryce and Grand Canyon with a multi engine aircraft, I knew I wanted to become a pilot! In 2022 I started my training in Oregon and today I am a Commercial Pilot flying single and multi-engine airplanes with Instrument privileges. Don’t stop believing... I would love to share my passion with you as well!
