Evening Program: Speaker Cory Lovell

Cory Lovell is an accomplished instructor and airshow performer with thousands of flight hours accumulated across a diverse range of aircraft and disciplines. Having begun flying at the age of 12, Cory has dedicated his life to mastering the art and science of aviation.

He is an Advanced Flight Instructor with specialized expertise in aerobatics, formation flying, and Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT). Throughout his career, Cory has trained with some of the most respected names in aviation, including world-renowned competition aerobatic pilot Sergei Boriak, Sean Tucker, and completed formation aerobatic training under legendary airshow pilots Bill Stein and Randy Howell.

Today, Cory serves as the #6 pilot for the Patriots Jet Team, one of North America’s premier civilian jet demonstration teams, performing precision formation maneuvers before audiences across the country. His unique combination of operational experience, instructional expertise, and high-performance flying provides a rare perspective on aviation safety, discipline, teamwork and continuous learning. He also teaches with the Patriots Jet Team UPRT program in the L-39 and Sabreliner 60.  

Cory will share lessons drawn from years of teaching UPRT, precision formation flying and airshow operations—offering insights into the value of getting aerobatic or UPRT training. He will also discuss what it’s like flying in close formation with five other jets during the 28-minute Patriots routine, and how the Patriots were involved in filming “Top Gun Maverick.”

It’s gonna be a great night!  See you there.
