About Kelly Jones
RaceCraft1 Chief Instructor, Founder, and CEO

Kelly Jones graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1989 with degrees in aerospace engineering and Japanese. A collegiate boxer fighting at middleweight, Kelly Jones earned All-American athlete status as a bronze medalist in the National Collegiate Boxing Championships. Through his 12 years of service Kelly Jones rose to the rank of Major as a decorated F-16 fighter pilot, instructor pilot, and mission commander. A graduate of the Air Force F-16 Instructor Course, Electronic Combat Instructor Course, Pacific Air Forces Aviation Crew Enrichment Seminar, and Raytheon Maverick Missile Symposium, Kelly Jones applied his 2,200 hours flight experience in the F-16 to lead, teach, and train dozens of his fellow elite fighter pilots. Following his career as a combat aviator, Kelly Jones piloted Airbus aircraft for eight years as a commercial airline pilot with FedEx. It was during this time that Kelly traded combat aviation for motorsports and raced cars, karts, and motorcycles internationally while instructing on track with national car clubs and motorsports organizations. The beginnings of RaceCraft1 started in 2008 when Kelly applied his engineering talent to purpose-build the RaceCraft1 simulators expressly for formal instruction. Kelly harnessed his highly trained instructor background and racing experience to write the RaceCraft1 curriculum, drawing upon Air Force instructional techniques honed through the hard lessons of 100 years of aviation history. Efficient and highly effective, the specialized RaceCraft1 teaching embodies formal fighter pilot and commercial airline pilot instructional techniques.
