Jim Mullens

President

I have been in the investment and asset management business for over thirty years, and was attracted to the South Florida aviation market for many reasons. I am a business professional, and a frequent traveler, and I believe I can identify with the average executive, or upscale tourist, who wants to travel is an aircraft that is very comfortable, very safe, and exceeds my expectations. I, and my associates, see a current and growing demand for affordable, executive air charters to the Caribbean and the Southeast U.S., and our goal is to become the most reliable provider for this type of aviation service in this area of the country. We have decided to build a quality fleet of aircraft that are luxurious, safe, and have per-hour prices that are much lower than the typical small jets or turbo-prop planes. Our business is about meeting your needs.

Dan Winkler

“I began flying at 14 and received my pilot’s license at 18, then spent 27 years working as a Yacht Captain traveling the U.S., Caribbean and Europe. Six years ago I finished my Instrument, Commercial and CFI training, and started flying a Caravan on floats in the Bahamas. I joined Aerborne Aviation during the Summer of 2008 and look forward to the future.“

Jon Walrath

Pilot

“Originally from Upstate New York, I moved to Florida in 1998 to attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Fell in love with the warm weather, slow living and never moved back. Always wanted to fly for a living so I wouldn’t have to work (It’s never work when you do what you love). Come from good stock, believe in honor, integrity, and just being a good person in general. Love flying, love people and look forward to flying for you.”

Keith Kearns

Director of Safety/Training

“I am originally from New Mexico. Began my flying career in Texas, attended the University there before migrating to Florida in 2001. I haven’t been able to find a reason for leaving Florida since. I’ve spent most of my 10 years of flying around the Bahamas. Recently married, and enjoy working for Aerborne Aviation, LTD.”

Ron Pearson
