...who still doesn't know it all. But as a former simulator and ground instructor for Gulfstream aircraft at Flight Safety™, I have worked with hundreds of great professional pilots and have tried to learn a little something from every one of them. There's a wealth of great people in the Gulfstream world.

All Continents, All Oceans, 50+ Countries

It's not the same everywhere. Maybe I already know the local handshake. Maybe you do to, so I'll be there backing you up while you haggle with the locals.

I understand English in numerous dialects, including ICAO, which I speak fluently, so as not to embarrass my associates in the cockpit.

No accidents no incidents

No Accidents, Incidents. No Tickets

Scratch that last part. I received my first traffic ticket after 40 years on the road. Darn. Otherwise I have never scratched, dented or damaged anything with wheels or wings. And I intend to keep it that way.

Three words to live by in this business although maybe not 80% of the job. But you can count on me to be there on time. checkbox-1

Cockpit Etiquette

You know...those little unmentionables that are so irritating when you work an arm's length away from someone. Enough said? Let's just check this box and move on. checkbox-1
