A Letter from the Publishers Dear Readers,

It is with great excitement that we present to you our Summer 2022 issue of BizAvJets USA. This is our fifth edition, and we are just as thrilled as ever to be sharing great stories in the business aviation community.

This season, we have many airshows and events, including AirVenture in Oshkosh. This past Spring, we had NBAA’s SDC2022 conference where Scott Morrison of JaxJetPort commissioned and debuted aviation artist’s Hank Caruso’s whimsical “JaxJet Biz Buzz” piece. Associate Publisher/Editor Paul T. Glessner interviewed Mr. Morrison and Mr. Caruso on how art can make an powerful statement, even in – or perhaps especially in – business. These events bring pilots, enthusiasts, mechanics and other business aviation users and professionals together. These are great opportunities to learn, grow, network and hear great stories.

Since we started our publication in 2020, our focus has been on the charitable and efficient use of business aviation. This quarter, our cover features Cindy Eckert, a business aviation advocate and a pharmaceutical industry disrupter. Co-Publisher Elijah Stepp’s interview with Ms. Eckert reveals her $1.5 billion business success story. We also feature the adventurous chronicles of Threshold Aviation’s Mark DiLullo and how he became the owner of the largest privately-owned Jet Fighter Air Force; Co-Publisher Annamarie Buonocore delves in aviation career planning with coach Jenny Showalter; and writer Matthew Odenbrett tells how he was “overflown” by a Blackbird!

We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed creating it. For more information on submitting articles or to read our publication online, visit www.bizavjetsusa.com.

Cindy Eckert - Pharmaceutical Industry Disrupter and Business Aviation Advocate

By Elijah Stepp

At BizAvJets USA Magazine (BAJUSA) we network to meet and interview those who have utilized business aviation in one form or another. I was fortunate to hear Ms. Eckert’s (CE) speak at a Grant Cardone conference where she was featured onstage. Afterward, I approached her regarding possibly connecting for an interview. I am pleased to say Ms. Eckert agreed to take time out of her schedule to speak with us. We are thrilled to have someone of her caliber on the cover of our publication.

rience a charter, or a with a guest owner of an aircraft, or other business aircraft utilization?

CE: How about all of the above? I have sampled it all. I started off in private aviation with memberships into some of the different organizations, and ultimately have gotten to where I charter now with a vision. I am being told repeatedly by my friends that surely there’s a pink aircraft in my future. (Laughing) Let’s just say that’s on the wish list to make a reality here soon.

BAJUSA: Have you ever used a Jet Card Membership?

CE: Yes, for sure. And I’m a Jet Card member today.

Even though I currently charter, I always keep a membership just to have that complete flexibility to be able to hop on. I am a Wheels Up member today.

BAJUSA: Do you feel that the cost of business aircraft travel is justified for your business purposes?

CE: While it can be viewed as the ultimate luxury, from a practical sense you must consider what your time is worth. The efficiency of being able to get there quickly, being present for meetings, and not walking out too soon because you might miss your flight, has not only afforded me better quality of life in terms of my travel, but also really more productivity in terms of being truly present, when I am at a destination.

BAJUSA: Understood. We certainly understand the cost of a CEO’s time waiting in an airport if they were not flying private. As a well-known person, sometimes there are security issues that need to be considered. Do you feel there is a safety factor flying private as well?

CE: Yes, definitely.

BAJUSA: Okay, great. Is there a business aviationrelated charity you’re familiar with?

CE: Yes. I am based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

There is a wonderful charity that I’ve been involved with which is Children’s Flight of Hope. Their website address is www.childrensflightofhope.org. Helping children who really have a need for specialized medical care.

Duke Raleigh Hospital is right in my backyard. So many children will come into Duke who have life-threatening illnesses. And being able to get them and their family here, often, through private transport because they cannot fly commercially for their medical needs is just something I feel very passionate about.

BAJUSA: That is wonderful you support such a worthy aviation-related cause, benefitting those with medical needs. Are you familiar with Corporate Angel Network?

CE: Please tell me more about them.

Cindy Eckert says flying in business jets has made her more productive in the business world. (Photo courtesy Cindy Eckert) BAJUSA: Basically, Corporate Angel Network arranges free seats on corporate aircraft, for cancer patients needing treatment. Corporate flight departments volunteer empty aircraft seats to fulfill CAN’s mission.

CE: Thank you. I love knowing about them.

BAJUSA: Our pleasure. Are you considering a business aircraft ownership in the future?

CE: Yes, absolutely. I can’t say it’s happening this year, but it’s in the plans. And I think we’re looking at it more seriously than we ever had before.

BAJUSA: Okay, great. Could you share your current company status in your own words?

CE: Sure. The company that I took back, I’ll say inside of Sprout Pharmaceuticals rocket ship growth, we’re doubling year over year. We have for the last couple of years. We will again this year. And nothing delights me more than getting this product into the hands of women who need it to improve their lives. In terms of the pink ceiling and my investment arm, we have taken on 12 different, really exciting disruptions in women’s health and wellness. And I just can’t wait for the world to see all of these categories we’re going to disrupt one at a time.

BAJUSA: That’s excellent. Could you share the meaning of the pink ceiling from your perspective?

CE: Sure. I think the pink ceiling is this invisible barrier that exists for women either to advance themselves, or for concepts that uniquely affect women to advance. And that’s been the story of my career. Some of the things that are the most taboo, I have taken on. Be it women in sex, or women in money. And I think that makes no sense that these really unwritten rules exist.

And so I’m determined to break most of them.

BAJUSA: Great. Excellent. So we’re excited for you. Have you ever thought about becoming a pilot or Continued on Page 8

experiencing aviation in the pilot seat?

CE: Okay. That is really a fun question. I bet there are certain things I think I am not qualified for, and that might be one of them. However, it would sure be fun to get a ride in the cockpit. I always do a little “fist bump” when my crew is all female in my current business aviation travels.

BAJUSA: Do you have a plane that is a favorite of yours, like a certain jet?

CE: Yes. There is something so magical about a Challenger.

BAJUSA: Wonderful. Is women’s health something you have always had an interest in, or did you dabble in other businesses before that?

CE: So I’ve always been in the healthcare space.

And I would tell you at heart, I’m a science geek. It is about products that can improve people’s lives.

Everything I’ve worked on in my career, I would say the common thread is to put power in the hands of women. That is what we invest in today. Those are the products we want to see in the market. It is my deep passion. I’ll share a “fun fact,” however, there is nothing fun about it. A mere four percent of all research dollars go to women’s health. Wow. That’s staggering in terms of how low it is. And I think in some small way, we’re trying to do our part to change that and really to be the champion of scientific innovation for women.

BAJUSA: Wow. Thank you for educating us, and our readers regarding women’s health research.

That is a very revealing statistic.

CE: My pleasure.

BAJUSA: Do you feel your location in the Southeast United States has been beneficial?

CE: I’m not originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, but I chose it deliberately to start companies.

And the joy to me has been the community, how supportive they are of entrepreneurial ventures. And the talent pool is second to none. Sitting in the seat of Duke UNC, NC State, Wake Forest. The youthful talent here that can come in and build organizations is just extraordinary. I’m a very proud business builder in Raleigh, and I think that market has been a big contributor to our success.

BAJUSA: Oh, great. That’s awesome. It’s always good to hear about entrepreneurs being successful away from areas like San Francisco, Denver, and Seattle.

CE: No doubt. I never had Silicon Valley mon-

BAJUSA: Great!

CE: I am a little unusual bird in that way. But I do love the Raleigh area and have to brag. We surprise people with how much we deliver on our companies.

BAJUSA: Wonderful! We appreciate your time.

Thank you for your time and insight on your business aviation experiences, as well as educating us and our readers in the pharmaceutical industry regarding women’s health.

CE: My pleasure.

BAJUSA: Our sincere thanks to Cindy Eckert who was a pleasure to interview. Our best wishes to her and her and her entire organization.

The Blackbird

By Matthew Odenbrett, President of Odenbrett Pilot Services

Author Matthew Odenbrett is “overflown” by a Blackbird! Seattle Center saw it, almost identified it, but never made radio contact. (Photo courtesy Matthew Odenbrett) Now I am not one for telling ghost stories, but this one really happened back in the winter of 2012.

I’m flying along in cruise flight at Flight Level 430 above California’s Mount Shasta on a gorgeous winter day. I was flying from Chino, Calif. to Seattle’s Boeing Field in a single-pilot Cessna Citation Stallion. This was a Citation 501 that had been modified by Uvalde, Texas-based Sierra Industries by replacing the Pratt & Whitney JT-15D engines with Williams FJ-44’s. The extra thousand pounds of thrust provided by the newer engines turned what had been a marginally performing jet into a real hot rod.

Most of my jet flying up to this point had been in old Citation II’s and I had never gone above 36,000 feet with them, so I was tickled to be sitting way up high in the Stallion, looking down at the airliners beneath me. They may be going faster than me, but they couldn’t reach my lofty height! I was very pleased with my situation. In the back, my passenger – who was also a very experienced private pilot – was relaxing and reading a magazine.

I had just been handed off from Oakland Center to Seattle Center, and as I continued my scan of my instruments and the skies around me I continued to thank my lucky stars for being able to continue to work during what at the time was a very difficult market for pilot jobs. I was still thinking these thoughts when I scanned the sky above me. My eyes focused upon the telltale line of a contrail from a twin-engine jet flying very far above me and moving very fast. He was so high that I could not

make out the shape of the airplane, just the twin contrails from his exhaust. I was admiring the view, and I made a rough estimate that this airplane was around 35,000 feet above me. That was when my Cerebral Cortex kicked into high gear. I did a double take and thought to myself, “Wait a second! I am at 43,000 feet! Who the heck is this guy that is 35,000 feet above me?”

Doing quick math in my head placed this traffic at 78,000 feet or higher, at the very least. I was shocked. I know of only two airplanes that can fly that high – the SR-71 Blackbird, and the U-2 Dragon Lady. The U-2 was still in service with the Air Force and NASA, but the Blackbird had supposedly been retired in the 1990’s.

I know the U-2 is a single-engine airplane and subsonic, so the twin exhaust pattern I was seeing ruled it out. It could only be a Blackbird.

I yelled back to my passenger at the rear of the cabin, “Hey John!, You should come up here. It appears that we were just overflown by a Blackbird!” John came up to the cockpit and peered up through the windshield. “Well, what do you know. Have you asked Center who that is?”

I hadn’t thought of doing that, so I made the call.

“Seattle Center, Citation 501 Whiskey Juliet. As you know I am at FL430, and I was just overflown by someone whose contrails appear to be perhaps 35,000 feet or higher above me. I was curious if you know who that may be?”

Continued on Page 10

The Blackbird Continued from Page 9

Center replied back: “501 Whiskey Juliet, Center.

That is likely an SR-71 as best as we can tell.”

Can tell? I replied, “Are you in radio contact with him?”

“Negative.”

Hunh. Not in radio contact with a very fast target.

Apparently, this guy was above 60,000 feet – the maximum altitude of Class A airspace – so he didn’t need to be in touch with anyone.

I turned to John and said, “Seattle Center isn’t talking to him, but they believe it is a Blackbird.”

Now I should mention my principal John was a government contractor, and he had done lots of construction work and demolition work for the Department of Defense over the years, so I was not too surprised when he replied to me, “Yeah that looks about right. I understand they are up to Mod Six on the production line.”

I replied, “Mod Six? I don’t know what that means.

I know the Air Force retired their Blackbirds after the Cold War ended. So who is operating this airplane?”

John smiled and replied, “A certain unnamed alphabet soup government agency.”

“Really?” I replied, “How do you know this?”

“I built the underground hangars that they keep them in.”

My eyebrows shot up, “And where are these hangars at?”

“That is for me to know and you to guess.”

We continued to watch the contrail as it made a very large 180-degree turn from roughly north, out over the Pacific Ocean, and then disappeared towards the horizon on a southbound trajectory.

I had been so awestruck that it never occurred to me to ask Seattle Center for a groundspeed readout on the target. I can only assume it was going supersonic, or near supersonic. Maybe they had already figured out how to negate the sonic boom by flying much higher than anything else does. I never noticed anything while I was in flight, and I can only guess that if there had been one I would have observed it.

John’s remarks were believable as far as I was concerned. He had described to me in detail about the time one of his demolition companies had taken down the old North American Aviation production factory at El Segundo, Calif. My father had worked at the factory in his younger years, and he was able to corroborate John’s recollections. That made John a credible source.

But what of the Blackbird? Darned if I know. To this day the United States Government says that all Blackbirds were retired. Officially, the Air Force retired the Blackbird in 1998 and NASA says it retired them in

Summer 2022

1999. Were more produced? Maybe. None of us will ever know unless the aforementioned alphabet soup government agency comes clean, but I highly doubt that will ever happen. It is possible that I may have observed what some over the years have called the Aurora, which according to conspiracy theorists was a follow-on supersonic stealth reconnaissance airplane intended to replace the Blackbird. Either way, while I didn’t have the means to take a photograph of the contrail or the airplane producing it, it was there. John and I are still in touch, and he is willing to back up my story. We also had a verification of sorts from Seattle Center that whatever we saw was not a hallucination. They had a radar target, and they were not talking to it.

To paraphrase an old country song by Colin Raye, “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

Matthew Odenbrett is a 12,000 hour ATP and CFII with Gulfstream IV and Citation type ratings. During his 22-year career, Matthew has served as Chief Pilot, Check Airman, and Flight Department Manager for various companies.

Takeoff

Continued from Page 12 local and regional groups. You should start meeting with other professionals, be active on LinkedIn, and really start developing a network to provide you with mentors and assistance as you come into the industry. I have met many young students and professionals who have found their way to an NBAA student membership and to their local and regional networking group. It’s hard for them to do it, but it does pay off. You just have to be more resourceful.

BAJUSA: What kinds of jobs have you helped people land?

JS: I want to make clear that I am not working as a recruiter. I am simply a coach who can guide clients to an aviation career that they have in mind. I have helped many Part 91 operators find talent for their teams. We’re talking about pilots, mechanics, and schedulers and dispatchers. I have also assisted with some of the leadership roles that we worked on.

BAJUSA: What would you say is your strongest skill in aviation?

JS: I would say customer service is really where I cut my teeth. I enjoy providing one-on-one service with people, and I value confidentiality. As we all know, confidentiality in this industry means a great deal. I cut my teeth on both of those things at the FBO, and I pride myself on those things today.

BAJUSA: How would you say we are doing in the area of diversity? Have we opened the doors to more women and people of color?

JS: I would say we have made great strides in doing that. There is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I recognize, having worked for corporate HR departments that have tried hard to create more diversity, that we can’t just snap our fingers and create a qualified candidate. It’s going to take some time to really show results.

BAJUSA: What age group of students or career changers do you work with the most?

JS: Here in Florida, I am uniquely positioned. We have a wealth of aviation universities and high schools.

My son is actually a junior at one of the aviation high schools. He is in their aviation ROTC program. He already has his drone license, and those students will finish their four years with their ground school completed.

There are a lot of programs like that here in Florida. Embry-Riddle is close by, and I have worked with many of their students over the years. The University of Central Florida is right up the street. They are not an aviation school, but they have very industrious students who go out of their way to find someone locally within the in-

dustry that they have an interest in. That has been very rewarding. The ones that really have that passion and drive are the most fun to work with.

BAJUSA: Is the coaching done virtually or in person?

JS: The coaching is done largely over Zoom. I offer free 15-minute consultations for those who just want to get to know me. I welcome the opportunity to meet people in person. I live in a busy part of Florida. I don’t think Zoom has replaced in-person meeting; it has just widened the scope. I can consult people from anywhere via Zoom, but I love doing in-person sessions.

BAJUSA: Whom in aviation do you admire the most?

JS: Wow! You know, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked that question. I think I would have to say my parents. My dad was born into the industry and got his pilot’s license right after he got his driver’s license. It was in his blood. My mom got into it… well, because she married my dad. Together, they grew a tremendously successful business with a far reach and a great reputation. As their daughter, I can’t think of anything better.

BAJUSA: How important is social media presence in getting hired?

JS: That’s a great question, and it has been even more important since the pandemic. To me, social media is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… not so much LinkedIn. I know it gets lumped into social media, but for me, LinkedIn is your personal brand and image that you want to portray to the industry. With so much remote work during the pandemic, I think your LinkedIn profile has become more important than ever. That is how many people are finding jobs, getting hired, and how they’re learning to connect as people. Not having a LinkedIn will be a red flag. Recruiters probably won’t look at your other social media as much, but you want to make sure it’s clean. Politics have become a big issue everywhere.

Some things just need to be carefully reviewed before you put yourself in job-search mode.

How I Became the Owner of the Largest Privately Owned Jet Fighter Air Force

By Mark DiLullo, CEO, Threshold Aviation Group

In part four of a four part series, I was Flying the Red Eye up to Anchorage from Southern California, trying to get some sleep, but I kept thinking about something I always warn my students about. As a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), the one thing I always cautioned young pilots about what is known as “Hurry-up-Itis”. For those who are not familiar with this term, it is often used by pilots to express an urgency to “hurry up and get there,” especially if they are trying to beat weather, daylight or the clock. The problem is, when you rush, mistakes are made; things are overlooked or forgotten and that’s when accidents can occur.

I was beginning to rethink my plan for bringing our last L-39 back to SoCal. I analyzed the risk and came to the conclusion that a carefully executed plan that was not driven by other commitments would result in the best outcome. Simply I could not afford to end this flight in a parachute over the hostile territory that lied below my flight path. I was committed

to a winning plan that mitigated risks whenever possible.

Originally, we were planning to get to Anchorage, pre-flight the Aircraft, then depart for Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, completing the first leg of our trip. With two Alaskan Transcons under my belt, I was feeling pretty confident about number three. However, I did have some concerns. Generally, the ice begins breaking up in Alaska in late April to mid-May. The ice breakup and snow melt can cause ground fog and low visibility. With a lot of mountains in Alaska, the last things you want are poor visibility flight conditions. Sometimes because of a condition known as Flat Light the terrain is difficult to see, often lacking dimension, reminiscent of a black and white photograph. Doug Sumler would join me as the second Pilot to fly the L-39 back. Doug is a qualified L-39 Pilot and an Airframe and Power Plant mechanic who makes his living flying Gulfstreams and Helicopters for celebrities.

Doug had previously flown both multi-ship Transcons in Continued on Page 16

the year prior, making him a good choice as he checked the L-39 experience box, the Alaskan Transcon box and the mechanic certificate added confidence as well.

Two of our most experienced L-39 mechanics, and all the needed parts, traveled to Anchorage in early April, which gave them plenty of time to get the jet back in flying condition. Often times jets get nicknames that match their personalities. Some flattering, some not so much. The mechanics christened this L-39, The Bonaduce after Danny Bonaduce of Partridge Family fame.

The paint scheme reminded them of the family’s school bus that was driven to gigs in the ‘70’s television show.

Like Danny, this Jet was difficult and unpredictable.

The challenging part about this Transcon was that we were going to be flying an unproven aircraft nearly 3,000 miles from Anchorage, Alaska to Chino, California. By unproven, I mean this aircraft’s last assignment was a rolling parts storage cabinet for both of its last two owners. Whenever another jet needed a part, Bonaduce was cannibalized. The aircraft had not flown in some time and was clearly the “problem child” of our eight-jet retrieval mission. Aircraft in this condition complicate and delay flight operations. Keep in mind, Bonaduce spent an additional winter stored in a hangar alone, rather than on the wing of another jet trans packing to SoCal. Before the mechanics had left in the fall, they assembled a comprehensive list of the parts needed to rehabilitate the jet. This gave us plenty of time to acquire and plan for the maintenance event that would hopefully render Bonaduce airworthy. The mechanics were successful and reported that we were good to go.

We arrived in Anchorage and drove over to the hangar we had rented on the general aviation side of Ted Stevens International Airport. We found the mechanics doing a run-up on the jet on the ramp and testing the jet’s systems. The report was overall good with the exception of a few minor squawks that they were addressing. One issue was an inoperative Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) in the aft cockpit. It had to be changed out which was going to cost us some time. The HSI was considered an essential instrument because if the front seat HSI failed, the backseat pilot needed this instrument to control the jet. Our plan was not to fly in instrument conditions but when you are severely fuel limited and the usable airports are at max range, you may have to fly in the weather to get back on the ground. Doug and I went into the FBO and re-checked the weather and made necessary revisions to the flight plan.

After looking at the weather and the clock, it was

Summer 2022

decided that the right thing to do would be to scrub the launch, get a good night’s sleep and depart early the next morning after doing a test flight. The next morning, Doug and I carefully pre-flighted Bonaduce, did a run-up and engine test, but due to low ceilings and some area fog, we cancelled the test flight. We used the weather delay to re-check all the permits and customs requirements, making sure everything was in order. We strapped in and waited for the skies to clear. As the sky turned a brilliant blue and the visibility increased, we taxied for departure, took off and headed out over Denali. Alaska is one of the most amazing visual experiences life offers.

Bonaduce was strong and willing. We pushed hard to Whitehorse, YT. After arrival in the early afternoon, we checked the weather and decided that Seattle was doable before darkness. We refueled the jet and departed for our intermediate fuel stop, which was Fort Saint John, BC and then onto Seattle. After an excellent steak dinner, we retired for a well-deserved night in Seattle. By the time the sun came up, Doug and I were strapped in and taxiing with Reno “under the hammer.” Bonaduce was a rockstar performing flawlessly and a dream to fly. With the exception of the paint scheme, it turned out to be a very nice airplane. In the late afternoon of our fourth day on the road, we RTB’d (returned to base) Chino, CA without fanfare.

This was probably the toughest of the three Transcons completed. Primarily because we were alone in an unproven aircraft and responsible for all of the planning, unlike the earlier flights where there was sufficient manpower to attend to the necessary tasks.

Writing this series of articles and reminiscing on the events leading up to the actual flights reminded me of the main reason I got into aviation. The adventure of taking flight into the heavens and seeing God’s view of the Earth firsthand; the honorable idea that I could deploy hard earned skills and a jet’s capabilities to defend our freedom. The gift of looking through the cockpit windscreen at the endless expanses of the most forbidding place on Earth and sheer amazing beauty of the Alaskan and Yukon Territory is simply beyond imagination. It’s humbling that very few people will ever get to see this view from this seat, yet, I got to do it three times!

Aviation Artwork Aplenty as Jacksonville JetPort Commissions Aerocature

By Paul T. Glessner, M.S.

Scott Morrison serves as the Government Liaison and Director of Marketing for the Jacksonville JetPort at Cecil Spaceport, which in April became Million Air Jacksonville. He continues to coordinate military training conducted at the airport and advises the company on specific military requirements as well as directing advertising and marketing strategy for the location.

Scott is a 1979 graduate of the United States Naval Academy. He served more than 20 years as a Naval Aviator flying the A-7E Corsair II and FA-18 Hornet aircraft

in a number of squadrons, mostly based at Naval Air Station Cecil Field. Scott was the last Executive Officer of Cecil Field before the base was closed and turned into a civilian airport.

Following his Navy retirement, Scott was a pilot/ instructor at United Airlines where he flew the Airbus A320. He subsequently served as a Captain flying Hawker 800 and Gulfstream G200 corporate aircraft prior to assuming his duties at the Jacksonville JetPort.

Scott Morrison, Government Liaison and Director of Marketing - Millionair Jacksonville (Photo courtesy Scott Morrison) BAJUSA: Scott, what prompted you to commission this aviation art piece?

SM: Paul, thank you for the opportunity to add some personalization to the story. I’ve known of Hank’s wonderful Aerocatures for decades but had not actually met Hank until about ten years ago. I called him to discuss commissioning a piece commemorating the history of Cecil Field and I had a few ideas that I ran by him. He came up with a fabulous Aerocature called “Jet Juice” and it depicted a group of characters huddled around a bar which served jet fuel. I’ve used that art in numerous applications from the Tailhook backdrop to brochures; I get so many comments!

Serving as a Naval Air Station since 1941, NAS Cecil Field was closed in 1999 and ownership was passed to the Jacksonville Aviation Authority. Since that time, Cecil Airport and Cecil Spaceport traffic has grown steadily to include not only military aircraft but general aviation, corporate aviation and horizontal launch of spacecraft as well. “JaxJet Biz Buzz” recognizes the incredible Cecil Field success story and the variety of

aircraft which operate from Cecil on a daily basis.

BAJUSA: Scott, why Hank versus a Stan Stokes or other aviation artists?

SM: Fast forward about eight years. I had been using a very successful drawing, actually a crayon drawing, as the theme for my civilian marketing. You see, many civilian companies seem to use a corporate jet sitting on a wet ramp with the sun setting and I wanted something different. The crayon stick figures were very different and very distinctive. But after eight years, that was getting a little old. I decided to call Hank to ask if he had ever drawn any civilian aircraft and he had not. I knew Hank would come up with something spectacular and after reading his thought process that went into creating JaxJet Biz Buzz, you can see that I wasn’t wrong! The detail that goes into every aircraft is exquisite and I can stare at this for a long time just picking out the specifics.

BAJUSA: Scott, how will this artwork add or complement your work efforts? Will it be used in more and more upcoming brochures and advertising into the future?

SM: I used this as the main feature in a new backdrop for the NBAA Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference in San Diego April 2022 and for other NBAA functions going forward as well as printed brochures and on the website. I know this will attract attention since it is so different from what any other FBO would use.

BAJUSA: Anything else you would like to add, Scott?

SM: While military aviation is the core of our business, general and corporate aviation is also vitally important and this new campaign centered around “JaxJet Biz Buzz” will certainly get the message out.

Hank Caruso’s Aerocatures are among the most novel and distinctive images in aviation art today. Trained as both an artist and engineer, Hank Caruso’s familiarity with aviation technology and aircraft operations enable him to convincingly show how flight crews feel about their aircraft and how the aircraft feel about themselves.

His careful draftsmanship and attention to detail add a strong sense of realism to his dynamic portrayals of each aircraft’s unique personality. The credibility of Hank’s aviation art is enhanced by his first-hand flying experiences as a backseater with Navy and Air Force tactical, test, and training organizations, including the Blue Angels, Top Gun, and the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School.

An Artist Fellow in the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA) and a contributor to the Air Force Art Program, Hank’s creations appear regularly in Naval Aviation News. His art has been displayed in juried shows in art museums and galleries throughout the country. Many military aviation squadrons and civilian aerospace organizations have commissioned original Aerocatures for use as logos, special presentations, and limited-edition commemorative prints.

sides in southern Maryland.

BAJUSA: Hank, what excited you about this project? What difficulties might you have run into?

HC: Paul, thank you for giving me the chance to offer a bit of back-story regarding “JaxJet Biz Buzz.” Scott and I had collaborated on a couple of other projects, so I knew he is creative, flexible, and very easy to work with.

To be honest, I’m not sure I was excited about this project initially. First, it involved business and general aviation aircraft, which I’m not as familiar with. They do not have the there-I-was stories that accompany military aircraft and the personalities are less extreme. However, since the Aerocature was to depict a formation flyover, there was the opportunity for interactions between aircraft.

The other source of concern was the need to show the JetPort reasonably accurately and in the proper perspective for the altitude. I wanted a good portrayal of important features, but only to the point where the supporting elements didn’t compete with the aircraft. There is also a good deal of geography surrounding the runways and hangars that contributes nothing to the story, so I didn’t want to spend time recreating all of that terrain, especially since the reference photos were a bit dodgy on details.

My solution was to add cloud forms over the parts that I didn’t want to include. I used a somewhat artificial Continued on Page 23

Summer 2022

cloud form that resembles contrails. These allowed me to add a bit of perspective and dynamism into the Aerocature by having them all emanate from an appropriate vanishing point (the Lear Jet’s nose). I also had high-altitude clouds radiating outward from the same vanishing point for a bit more energy.

BAJUSA: Hank, what did you add to this project that maybe you hadn’t in previous projects, if that is a good question?

HC: The colors of the aircraft are somewhat representative of what shows in the online photos. Showing white aircraft against white clouds is always a challenge.

I had the sun shine in from the left so that I could add a lot of shadow to contrast the aircraft against the light background. The sun angle also let me add a shadow under the clouds to develop more visual separation between them and the ground. I also avoided making any of the aircraft an extreme solid color to avoid giving it more attention than warranted.

The cast of characters was determined by Scott, as was some of the “posing.” The Gulfstream was to be the center attraction, with all of the others surrounding it in

one way or another. Showing the smaller aircraft in a somewhat distressed state was Scott’s idea. When drawing propeller aircraft, I don’t like showing blurred black smudges for individual prop blades. Instead, I prefer to show complete circular forms because they look prettier and I feel have more energy than blades frozen in midspin.

The crown on the KingAir needed to be King’s Crown and not the subtly different Queen’s Crown.

(The top of the King’s crown bows upward (convex), while the Queen’s Crown bows inward at the top.

BAJUSA: What is your final assessment of something you never ventured to do in the past?

HC: Ultimately, I was very happy with the final rendering, both in composition and color palette. I was especially pleased that the background worked out as an identifying element without overwhelming the aircraft.

I think the balance works very well. This is definitely an image I never would have thought to develop on my own.

and the strategic location, started marketing the Cecil Field location to military units throughout the country and developed a thriving niche business.

Through last April, the Jacksonville JetPort not only catered to corporate aircraft customers but specialized in support of military aircraft through rapid refueling and training detachment services. Units from all branches of the Military visit Cecil Field continuously for training opportunities, fuel and support while corporate flight customers enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and the best prices and service available.

This past April, as Cecil Field continued to expand operations, the Jacksonville JetPort became the new Million Air Jacksonville-Cecil and will remain center stage providing unparalleled support to all tenant activities, corporate flight customers and military aviation units.
