As a young man, Captain Dean P. Fox spent his entire life looking up into the skies, dreaming of flight. He began his career in aviation with a burning desire to touch the endless bounds of the bright blue skies above. He completed his Private Pilot license in 1997, along with licenses in Airline Transport, Multi-Engine ratings and obtained his Commercial Airline Pilot license all before the age of 30.

His love of aviation took him from his island home in Hawaii to the shores of south Florida where he enrolled at FlightSafety International aviation academy in 1998. There at FlightSafety International, the world's leading aviation training company, he completed the rigorous training required to become a certified commercial airline Pilot.

After graduating in the top of his class from FlightSafety International, Capt. Fox went on to become a Flight Instructor for Gulf Atlantic Airlines in Gainesville, FL. He brought the joy of flying to many young students and maintained excellence in instruction. From there, he went on to captain charter flights and flew for Life Flight, transporting life-sustaining vital organs to hospitals.

Captain Fox then entered the world of the commercial airlines when US Airways hired him in 2000. He continued in the aviation industry for many years, providing self-less service, exceptional competence, and true dedication to his love of flight.

Captain Dean Patrick Fox is currently retired from the airline industry, but his love of aviation continues. He still loves to take a flight up into the brilliant blue skies above and continues to encourage those-with a passion for flying.
