ABOUT
Crosswind Aviation is owned and operated by Gwen Fullbrook. Interested in learning to fly since she was a young girl, Gwen finally started flight training at Gillespie County Airport in February of 2017. From that moment forward, Gwen became an advocate for the flying community and has worked to promote Aviation Education and History throughout the Texas Hill Country.
By March 2018, Gwen had leased a 5x9 closet in Airport Terminal Building Conference Room to house the Redbird Flight Simulator and established Crosswind Aviation.
