Howard Greenberg

Greenberg dreamed of flying from a young age, kindled in part by a fascination with WWII aviation. With limited knowledge of civilian pilot opportunities and military aviation not an option due to corrected vision, he became an accountant. After college, he started flying lessons at Boca Raton Airport in Florida and earned his private pilot certificate in 1981. Greenberg earned a degree in computer systems and worked for IBM for 12 years. He founded a computer consulting company, and in his spare time earned an instrument rating and commercial certificate.

He became a CFI in 1994, followed by CFII and single engine ATP rating. When the FAA changed the ATP requirements in 2014, he earned a multi-engine rating, followed by MEI ATP. Greenberg got a SIC rating in the Citation 500 series and flew as a part time contract pilot. He began flying professionally full-time for Delta Private Jets in 2019. He got his Citation CE-525 PIC rating at FlightSafety International and worked there for a year.

Greenberg is a part time flight instructor at Lynn University’s aviation program. He helps run the Boca Raton Pilots Association and arranges monthly educational meetings where participants may earn WINGS credit. Greenberg attends EAA AirVenture every year and enjoys volunteering at the EAA Pilot Proficiency Center.

Greenberg is currently building a Vans RV-10 and is active in a Cessna182 partnership. He is a volunteer pilot with LightHawk, flying conservation missions. Greenberg said, “I am very grateful to all the great instructors who have shared not only their knowledge, but their love of aviation.” He is especially thankful to Bob Shine and Bill Craddock, his instructors during his early years in aviation.
