TWC Aviation is delighted to announce the addition of Victoria Cape to our sales and acquisition team. In her new role as Aircraft Research Analyst, Victoria gathers and analyzes critical information on the global business jet market. She works closely with our aircraft sales and acquisition directors to provide critical and timely data for each transaction.
“Support and analysis functions are critical in order to provide relevant information,” said Alex Joya, Vice President, Business Development. “Victoria plays a key role in assembling that data and then providing a commentary on areas of the market we can exploit for the benefit of our clients. With her international experience, attention to detail, and ability to handle, analyze, and present information, Victoria is an excellent complement to our team.”
Born in Russia, Victoria worked for five years at two large Russian airlines. In addition to her native language, she is fluent in English, conversant in German and French, and is learning Arabic. Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome, Victoria. We’re glad you’re on board!
Touted by Bombardier as having the largest cabin in its class, the Learjet 45 (“Lear 45”) was introduced to the business aviation community late in the 1990’s to offer a faster, more efficient, and more comfortable jet for both business and leisure travelers than that of earlier Learjet models. When compared to other aircraft of similar price and size, the advantages are clear.
Both Learjet 45 aircraft offered by TWC Aviation feature individual captain’s chairs for eight passengers in a double club configuration, galley with microwave oven, ample cabinet space, and a fully-enclosed lavatory that can be externally-serviced. The convertible lavatory seat is FAA-certified for take-off and landing which extends the seating capacity to nine passengers.
Each aircraft delivers with MSP maintenance programs for both engines and APU in addition to the Honeywell Avionics Protection Program (HAPP). Maintenance costs are further reduced by the FADEC engine control system, which increases both range and fuel efficiency and brings the jet near the 2,000 statute-mile range to cover most of the continental United States with a single fuel stop.
We are happy to discuss the features and amenities of these jets and to provide a comprehensive cost of ownership analysis or a customized comparison package if you are looking at similar models to help you find the perfect jet for your mission profile.
Charlie Johnson, Vice President with TWC Aviation, was recently awarded the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award from the Federal Aviation Administration. This award recognizes Charlie’s 50 accident-free years since his first solo flight. Nominations are made by fellow pilots. The presentation took place at the April 10 meeting of the Northern California National Business Aviation Association.
“My wife, Kay, was my first passenger on the same day that I got my license Dec. 2, 1959,” Charlie says. “That first solo was in Fargo in March of 1959 so it was really 53 years of accident-free flying.”
According to Charlie, most honorees have flown six to 12 different types of aircraft, but his Log Book showed over 200 aircraft types. “Everything from NASA’s Space Shuttle Simulator to Piper J-3 Cubs with wheels, snow skies and floats. It included single-engine land and sea planes, multi-engine airplanes, helicopters, gliders, and jets.”
Charlie accepts this honor with the usual wry humor we know and love. “It really just means that I am old and haven’t crashed.”
Congratulations Charlie!!! – from the whole crew at TWC!
Private aviation in China is in its infancy compared to North America and Europe. But demand is growing and this year’s Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) in Shanghai saw an industry kicking in to high gear in the region. Monocle heads to the show to understand the sector’s potential (video journalist: Gabriel Leigh):
As part of our continued support of promoting the next generation to pursue careers throughout the aviation industry, TWC Aviation is happy to announce our support and participation in this year’s Van Nuys Airport Aviation Career Day. The event will be held in the Syncro Aircraft Interiors hangar on Friday, April 20th, 2012. Over 1,400 high school students from more than 25 local high schools will be attending the one day event to learn more about the various careers they can pursue related to aviation.
TWC has supported the Career Day event since 2009, and each year it is exciting to share our passion for aviation. The students get a chance to speak one-on-one with pilots, maintenance technicians, and many other aviation industry professionals who can offer guidance on how to begin pursuing an exciting career in aviation. Last year TWC had eleven employees visit with the students throughout the day and provided a career guide for attendees called “Taxiways to Success”. The guide describes six areas of focus in aviation from being a pilot or mechanic to finance or flight coordination; and provides practical first steps a high school age student can take now to begin a career in aviation.
This year we are hosting an interactive video contest for the students which will play continuously at our booth. We anticipate the video to help generate questions from the students so that we can hold meaningful conversations about job responsibilities, education requirements, and steps to reaching that perfect position in aviation.
