The economy may be faltering, but we're still growing! Last week we welcomed Laura to our Housekeeping staff, and are continuing our search for more multiple-shift line service.

new owners of a brand new Baron purchased from Woodland Aviation
Sold: 2007 G58 Baron
Another Baron has found a new home! This Baron will be used for corporate transport all over the Northwest for a utility power generation business. They were very motivated by economics - which is why they chose the Baron to complement their fleet. This Baron will also be one of the first to have the micro-VGs mod installed upon STC approval. Congratulations on the Baron addition.
