Robin Leabman started flying at the age of 14 back in 1990, and acquired his Private Pilot and Instrument Rating in high school. Robin instructed all ratings, including Glider, Tailwheel, and Towplane while in college.

He holds type ratings for LR-JET, GLF4, GLF5, G280, B757, B767, and the L-39 Albatross.

Robin holds all Airplane, Helicopter, and Glider instructor ratings. He holds ATP in ASEL, AMEL, and Helicopter. He also holds ASES and AMES at the Commercial level, though he plans to "Level Up" both of those to ATP within the next year.

Robin is proud to be a volunteer pilot for The Pink Jet.
