Illinois, USA — Kore Aviation is proud to announce a new partnership with JET Aviation Services, a Part 61 flight school based in Illinois. Through this collaboration, Kore Aviation becomes the official headset provider for the school, supplying KA-1 headsets to student pilots for use in flight training, ground instruction, and early discovery flights. Students training with JET Aviation Services will also receive access to exclusive discounts as part of Kore Aviation’s student support initiative.

Led by founder and instructor John Thompson, JET Aviation Services has quickly built a reputation for offering a grounded, professional approach to flight training. Thompson’s philosophy centers on creating a relaxed and student-friendly environment without compromising high standards or instructional quality. With a background that includes roles as a sheriff, ATP, and certified instructor across multiple categories, Thompson brings a wide range of real-world experience to each training session.

“My efforts in flight training are nothing more than professional,” said John Thompson, Founder of JET Aviation Services. “Students should always feel comfortable with their instructor, both in the airplane and on the ground. That comfort level makes the entire process more effective and enjoyable. The Kore Aviation KA-1 plays a part in that experience. Its clarity and ease of communication help reduce workload and keep students focused, especially in the early stages of learning to fly.”

Thompson first discovered Kore Aviation several years ago but was drawn back to the brand after seeing the company’s outreach during Oshkosh 2025. After sharing the Kore Aviation KA-1 with students and instructors, the response was immediate and positive. One local pilot even purchased a KA-1 headset for personal use and has since praised its performance and reliability.

“Student pilots already have a lot to process. The KA-1 reduces stress by delivering clean audio, both incoming and outgoing, so communication is never a distraction,” Thompson added. “When I think back to learning in aircraft with no intercom and poor speakers, the KA-1 is a major step forward. It gets my full support every day.”

“At Kore Aviation, we are drawn to instructors who lead with experience, clarity, and care,” said Min Kim, President of Kore Aviation. “John’s passion for his students and his respect for the training process is clear in everything he does. We are proud to support JET Aviation Services and help their pilots train with the gear they deserve.”
