Ruth Grasel

Aviation Consultant; Artist - oil, watercolor; landscape, architecture, and life scenes Rental Properties - AZ and CO Flight Instructor I retired as the National Training Center Program Manager for the FAA in December of 2004. I maintain pilot currency and the currency of my small Cessna aircraft. My second job has been the "care and feeding" of rental properties that I have acquired over the years. I retired from the FAA primarily to see more of my family, to further my art skills, to restore my interests in music, and to go places and do things. I make local and long distance flying trips as well as plein aire painting trips (local and abroad) with fellow artists. I enjoy trecking through the mountains anytime and by any means...hike, bike, cross-country ski, SUV or whatever.
