“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
 of sun-split clouds, –
And done a hundred things
 You have not dreamed of —
Wheeled and soared and swung
 high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along,
And flung
 my eager craft through footless halls of air . . .

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew;

And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and [sought the shekinah glory] of God.”

We trust your flying this year was remarkable and wish your best dreams of flight become a reality in the New Year.

Connecting Aviators® development phase has begun which includes programming and architecture to support the native iOS iPhone and iPad applications.

It’s Thanksgiving week. A time to stop and be still. A time to reflect.

With gladness, our founding fathers acknowledged the benefits and mercies which God bestowed upon them. Let us not neglect praise to Him for our many good provisions. The ordinary and extraordinary – such as, General Aviation. Our opportunity to ride modern chariots in God’s magnificent heavens! And, to share that experience with family, friends and the next generation.

Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends (Ps 100:1-5; Ro 6:23).

June – August 2020, allowed us time to meet with more than a dozen pilots to conduct validation testing on a black & white lo-fi prototype of the Connecting Aviators® app. Participants provided more than 15 hours of feedback on our various design iterations and features. Many thanks to all who help us.

We’re on schedule to introduce the new Connecting Aviators® app in 2021.

General Aviation flying can be expensive.  But studies have shown the cost of airplane acquisition and flying can be reduced 50% – 75% through co-ownership which allows for the sharing of fixed expenses, such as, hangar, insurance, subscriptions, maintenance and capital acquisition costs.  We’ve learned finding the right pilots to form a partnership can be time consuming and expensive. But it should not be that way.

A national listing of airplane co-ownerships by airport doesn’t exist.  It’s been tried before and failed.  Three primary issues nosedived the attempts:  First, true user identity was not maintained.  Secondly, the solution became too complex (simple is hard).  And, third the app target market was too narrow.

Join us in our quest to build a national directory for aircraft shared ownerships and reserve your free listing today. Simply, let us know you’re interested in shared aircraft ownership.
