jetAVIVA co-founder supports Angel Flight Network

Angel Flight is a charitable organization comprised of pilots who donate their time and airplanes to fly people in medical and financial need. My best friend and co-founder of jetAVIVA, Cyrus Sigari and I have been volunteers for Angel Flight for 15 years. I believe that the experience of helping these people in their times of need, through an expression of my passion for flight, has enriched my life even more than those passengers I've flown. Helping one's self by helping others is truly an uncompromising and limitless opportunity. We encourage all of our friends and clients to participate as Angel Flight pilots.

Phenom 300: Severe Weather Arrival

Ben shot this video with his iPhone during an evening descent into Charleston, SC while flying with a Phenom 300 owner/pilot. There were storms building around them including a large cell out of frame on the left side of the aircraft. The crew used XM Nexrad, XM Lightning, on-board weather radar, and Stormscope to safely avoid the severe weather and enjoyed a smooth ride through the build ups and into Charleston International Airport.
