Background

I've Flown the
Airplanes I Sell.

Most aircraft brokers haven't sat in the left seat in years. Some never have. Curt flew this morning.

10,000+Corporate Flight Hours
WorldwideOperations Experience
Since 2010Flying & Managing Aircraft

Curt started flying corporate aircraft in 2010. That's also where he learned aircraft management, and he's been doing both ever since.

More than 10,000 hours operating corporate aircraft worldwide. Real trips for real owners: international procedures, oceanic crossings, unfamiliar airports, weather that changed the plan, and schedules that couldn't slip.

A single-engine airplane teaches you what an owner's costs feel like with no department absorbing them. A G550 program teaches international operations, crew currency, and what a serious maintenance event does to a schedule and a budget. Most people in this business have seen one end of that spectrum. Curt has managed both, and everything between.

His father has been in aviation since the 1980s, so the standards Curt was raised on were set before he ever held a certificate.

Sixteen years, and the range matters as much as the years. That progression is the entire education.
