My father and I went to a "Learn to Fly" seminar in Palo Alto, CA on Halloween in 1980.

When I was seven years old, my father's friend took me up in a 150 Cessna. I've been hooked ever since.

The CJ3 has great short field capability, which increases the number of airports that I'm capable of visiting, and it has tremendous range on very little fuel. It also climbs extremely well and it offers our clients a comfortable regional option.

Without a doubt, safety is the most important aspect of good airmanship. There is literally nothing more crucial than knowing that everything that can be done to ensure a safe flight is completed to the utmost degree.

Solairus pilots benefit from an unwavering amount of support from the home office; any issues that we may have always get resolved quickly. Not every company does that. From the top to the bottom, Solairus employees work with the crews to make sure everything goes smoothly.

With our ARG/ US Platinum Safety Rating, our dedicated Safety and Training Officer, and our IS-BAO Certification, we are absolutely committed to having a sustainable culture of safety. It's an impressive level of dedication that makes me proud to be here.
