Anthony “Judge” Tisdale

Anthony grew up in Fallon, Nevada, and began flying at the age of 19, earning his Private Pilot Certificate. He went on to graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics, and quickly advanced through his aviation training—earning his Instrument, Commercial, Multiengine, ATP, and CFI/CFII/MEI certificates, along with multiple jet type ratings.

In addition to his aviation achievements, Anthony earned a Law Degree from BYU Law School, though he ultimately chose to pursue his passion for flying as a profession. Selected for U.S. Air Force Pilot Training, he flew both the F-15C and A-10C, and today continues to serve as a drill-status Guardsman fighter pilot with the Nevada Air National Guard.

Outside of his military and examiner duties, Anthony is an international FedEx pilot, operating long-haul routes around the world. He also gives back to his hometown community as Churchill County Justice of the Peace Pro Tempore.

Anthony remains deeply passionate about aviation and is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of pilots, combining his extensive experience with a commitment to professionalism and service.
