Our vision is to show our Veterans how much we honor them and appreciate the sacrifices they have made to ensure the people of our nation continue to enjoy the freedoms and independence we have been afforded as Americans.
Our mission is to honor our veteran’s one flight at a time. It is our way of expressing our thanks for their selfless efforts. To ensure they know their value to us by providing to them a memorable flight experience specifically tailored to their life experiences while taking into account their current health condition and any other important factors. Ultimately it is our way of expressing our sincere thanks.

Buying a Cessna 150 at 16 with some friends, Dell learned to fly early on. Also interested in all things mechanical, Dell combined his interests with his sense of duty and served 6 years with the Air National Guard as a crew chief on the C-130 Hercules.
Having gained valuable experience from the best, he went on to achieve all the necessary ratings to become a successful business jet pilot.
While traveling the world in Falcons, Challengers and Gulfstreams, Dell never forgot his early passion for the pure joy of flight and managed to build and restore several aircraft while working full time. Dell cultivated his aircraft building expertise, as well as his ever progressing aerobatic proficiency, and both are reflected in his aircraft designs. Success with aerobatic aircraft, and other opportunities, lead Dell to leave the business jet world behind and focus his energy and skills to aircraft improvements and custom builds.
Dell is the master builder, and airshow pilot of the 1929 replica taper wing Jet Waco, also known as Screaming Sasquatch. His love for aviation innovation lead him to his next project, the twin fuselage Yak 110.
Ultimately, what we are is true to life homegrown effort with a passion for flying and bringing joy to our veterans by sharing our good blessings. I hope everything contained within displays to you our commitment and level of passion to Elevate Our Veterans.
