Our Story
In the bustling atmosphere of a large aviation conference in Nashville, three passionate aviation enthusiasts—Mark, Sarah, and Alex—crossed paths. Their shared love for aviation quickly formed the foundation of a strong friendship. They spent hours discussing the intricacies of aircraft design, the history of aviation, and their dreams of one day starting a business jet service.
Mark Johnson:
A seasoned pilot with over 20 years of experience, Mark has also held leadership positions at various airlines. His expertise in aviation management, coupled with his roles as a public speaker and business coach, brings a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to the team.
Sarah Thompson:
An aeronautical engineer by trade, Sarah has contributed to groundbreaking projects like the Boeing Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) and other yet-to-be-revealed single-engine aircraft. Her technical knowledge and innovative thinking make her an invaluable asset to the team, ensuring that every aspect of their operations is top-notch.
Alex Rodriguez:
With a background in business management and finance, Alex brings a strategic mindset to the group. His skills in navigating the business landscape have been crucial in turning their dreams into reality, providing the necessary business backbone to the company.
As their conversations evolved, the idea of launching a business jet service began to take shape. However, they knew they needed one more piece to complete the puzzle—a seasoned aviation mechanic who could ensure the maintenance and safety of their fleet. Mark reached out to an old friend, Emily Carter, whose reputation in the aviation maintenance community was well-known.
Emily Carter:
Emily owns a large company that provides on-site maintenance services to aircraft stranded at airports without the normal facilities for such services. At times, she or her organization is both an owner and a customer. Her hands-on experience and dedication to safety make her the perfect fit for the team.
With the team assembled, the next step was to choose the right aircraft. After extensive research and deliberation, they settled on the Learjet-35. The availability of this model on the market, combined with its reasonable cost of ownership and proven reliability, made it the ideal choice for their budding enterprise.
More importantly, their decision was driven by their shared love for the Learjet line. The sleek design, impressive performance, and storied history of the Learjet-35 resonated with each of them. They weren’t in it for the money; their true motivation was their passion for aviation and their desire to share the joy of flying with others.
