MY NAME IS JAMES POWELL. 


I have been flying for eighteen years, fixing and restoring aircraft for twelve, but my passion for aviation has always been with me. I come from a family of Aircraft Engineers, so you could say it's in my blood.

Though intuition has played a big part in my career, my specific qualifications include graduating with my Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License (AME) at the top of the class, Bachelor's Degree with Honours from Trent University, Commercial Pilot's License, Glider License, Class One Instructor Rating, Group One Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Rating, Multi engine rating and over three thousand five hundred flying hours. 

Not surprisingly, my main hobby is flying. I'm currently restoring a classic Cessna-195 airplane, and until then, have a Acroduster biplane & Cessna 310 to sustain my love of flying. I have flown in just about every condition imaginable, always putting safety first.

I'm looking forward to assisting you with your flying experience. Whether you're looking to earn your wings, have your annual inspection completed in a convenient and time-sensitive manner, or have been experiencing your airplane flying less than perfect, I'm excited to be part of your aviation journey. 

TO MOST PEOPLE, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT.

TO THOSE WHO LOVE AVIATION, THE SKY IS HOME.
