Ferry Operations

I will gladly ferry your aircraft at incredibly competitive prices.  My suggestion is to call or text me (719-505-5434) to see if any of these options meet your needs.  I am always willing to negotiate.

Options:

  • EXPENSE ONLY
    • I may ferry an aircraft simply to get more time/experience in it and cost is expenses only.  However, even if I've flown the aircraft, you can ask about this option.  The aircraft I've flown are listed below.
  • HOURLY and DAILY FEE
    • $50/hour
    • Regardless, the minimum is $400/day (as it burns my day)
    • Ask about "EXPENSE ONLY" first.
  • All options include expenses incurred by me to include...
    • Commercial carriers and/or ground transportation
    • Fuel for the aircraft
    • Hotels (if required)
    • Meals (no more than $50/day)
As you would expect, I only move aircraft with correct paperwork.  I will ensure required paperwork is present, but I won't process any paperwork.

I will treat your aircraft as if it were my own and will always attempt to deliver it exactly as you expected it to arrive when you purchased it.

  • Aeronca / Champion / Bellanca / American Champion

Flight Reviews

Flight reviews:

These should be a fun, effective, and a learning experience. It should also be a lower-stress event. Remember, failed flight reviews don’t exist. Rather it becomes Dual Received until both you and your instructor agree your flying meets standards.

  • Advisory Circular 61-98D.
  • Conducting effective Flight Reviews and IPCs. (Turner video).
  • Flight Review Recommendations/Ideas...
    • Have fun with it
    • Learn / try something new
    • Use the WINGS program
