Does anyone know anything about these guys? They've advertised for positions in Virginia and their website is interesting. That said, I don't know how towing targets for 2000hrs would go.

I'd sure like to be using my clearance again.
 
Phoenix air is out of Cartersville Ga. Not a bad company. Im not sure what the pay for an FO is, but i use to work there as a line tech and the pay was pretty decent. I received my private license there about 8 years ago as well. All of their aircraft including the Lears and G200's were well maintained
and the staff back the was really nice.
You cant get anything from their website as they havent updated it in years it seems.

Nah, I'm not typed in any gulfstreams.
 
They keep a gulfstream in Anchorage that does runs to Shemya and other cold war vacation spots in the Aleutians.
 
Im not sure about the VA base, but they use to do a lot of military ops years ago and im sure they still do. They also do air ambulance

In the back for bags? It used to be a normal GII but now it is a GIII. When I was working at the airport there was no Phoenix Air planes based there. There may have been in the past.

My old man did a bunch of work out at Shemya a few years back, but they were using Phoenix as they have a GIII with a forward cargo door. Must have been just for their project.

That could be. I think Lynden goes out there a bunch. Phoenix maybe used to have the contract before Flightworks.

Can't turn a G-II into a G-III, although you can add winglets. Also they built a few of the last S/N G-IIs with a G-III wing and called it a G-IIB, Gulfstream pilots like the combination of straight jets, short fuselage and big wing. They are getting more and more rare these days because of noise and fuel burn.

I meant they switched out a G-III in place of the G-II. The II got retired.

Funny, after I replied I realized that was probably what you meant. I left the post up anyway because I like Gulfstreams and my reading comprehension sometimes fails me on friday evenings.

Yup. Say again, yup! This is fun work. 50 AGL in a Lear is a blast. The most fun is watching your fuel flow!
