Jared Savage

Compton, CA

Jared Savage was born and raised in Compton, California, where his interest as  a pilot began. He was raised by his mother and grandmother, and grew up with his twin. Often watching the Koala Brothers, his interest in aviation was ignited at a young age. He would often look in the sky as he drove past airports, fascinated by all of the planes. During his senior year of high school, Jared obtained his private pilot license at the age of 18, the same year he was accepted to Tuskegee University.

Unable to afford continuing his flight training, Jared worked as a lineman at Moton Field for almost a year, eventually earning enough money to complete his instrument rating. While finishing his training, he met an instructor named Chris Hamm, who introduced Jared to Gen. Sparrow and Hammond Cobb. He was granted a scholarship, and proceeded to become the first flight instructor for the Red Tail Scholarship Foundation.

Jared volunteers for Angel Flight, SouthWings and Pilots and Paws. He is a cast member in the aviation documentary, Red Horizon.
