Block hours that don’t expire on you

Purchased block hours are good for a full 12 months — most dry-lease programs expire theirs in 30 days. 15-hour minimum block.

The jet meets you where you are

Home base is our hangar at LNA, but your pilot can position the aircraft to any Florida airport — or anywhere — at your cost, under your lease.

Single-pilot certified

Where your insurance allows, one qualified pilot flies it instead of two. We can share a list of independent pilots — you choose, hire, and pay them directly, or bring your own.

Fuel below the pump

CAA contract fuel enrollment is in process — negotiated Jet-A at 300+ FBOs. On a dry lease, fuel is your direct cost, so every saved gallon is yours.

A family company

Two generations. One airplane. Straight answers.

We’re a family company, two generations deep in aviation — and we own the airplane we lease. No call center, no broker chain, no rate sheet games. When you call, you’re talking to the people who sign the lease and hangar the jet.

We’d rather tell you an airplane isn’t right than make a bad fit. Need a flown-for-you trip? That’s a charter — we’ll point you to a certificated Part 135 operator.

Talk to the owners. Today.

One call and we’ll run your routes together — real numbers, same day. No call center, no broker, no pressure.
