Ryan left to serve as a commissioned officer in the Air Force. I, Erich Moulder became a partner with Jim in 2011 bringing the first Biplane. Why a biplane? Biplanes are unlike any other. Seeing the shape, vintage look and feel, beautiful fabric covering and graceful lines while walking to it brings a feeling of excitement. For the pilots, the fun is inside. The biplanes do not have any automation, so the pilot is in control of everything for the entire flight – we choose are pilots very carefully! For everyone, the ride through the sky is in the open air, there is no better view.

Jim and I both had full-time flying careers but our enthusiasm for the vision helped us wedge into the tour market. We had great success and built our Squadron of pilots, aircraft, and the hangar. We collected pilots from all aspects of aviation. One virtue continued to ring true, the love of flight brings us together. We learned this isn’t just true for pilots; this is why we encourage couples, groups, and teams to come join us.

In 2015, we purchased our 2nd Biplane. The summer of 2015, the Air Combat San Diego syllabus was developed (organized by fighter pilot Colonel Earl “the Pearl” Wederbrook, USMC Retired) and approved by the FAA under Military Experience flights. This new program enabled us to bring the fun of formation flights and the thrill of air combat flights to the public. The response to these programs have been as exciting as the rides.

As a result, we upgraded the original aircraft, bought a third biplane, and gained a nice selection of tours. Our tours now range from the ‘Mild’ to the ‘Wild’.

The pilots are our recipe for success: a superb lineup of tour pilots equals a trail of inspired customers. Check out some of our testimonials from past passengers.
