Jason was personally involved with research and development as well as certification of over 15 aircraft on our current float models. With skills obtained from several years as inspector and shop supervisor, Jason became the Director of Maintenance in 2004 with over 28 mechanics running 2 shifts, 7 days a week in a modern, state of the art facility.
