The Flying Circus Airshow: Biplanes, WWI Replicas, & Antique Aircraft

Friday, October 26th, 2012

Aviation Insurance Resources’ (AIR Pros) own Jon Shimer recently attended the legendary Flying Circus Airshow in Bealeton, Virginia. This historic airshow, which was originally formed in 1970, features demonstrations of the “Golden Years of Flight,” characterized by the “barnstorming” activities of the post WWI era.

The Flying Circus Airshow in performs every Sunday from May through October. The Airshow starts at 2:30pm and runs for approximately 90 minutes.

The only thing that has changed since the 1970s is the number of members and aircraft in the Flying Circus’ inventory. And with the exception of the Flying Circus silver and black 450 hp Stearman, all of the other aircraft are privately owned.

Update: Flight award winner, Toni Michaelson

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

The trees are changing colors and the elections are coming near, both make for an interesting flight. Aviation Insurance Resources’ 2012 Women Fly it Forward flight award winner, Toni Michaelson, is quickly adding up hours in her logbook.

“While preparing to take off this morning in Frederick (having earlier been given special restrictions as to where we could fly today due to the president being at Camp David), we saw his five helicopters fly right over us as the president makes his way to Florida today. The other photo is us flying a few minutes later outside the restricted air space of DC. These were both pretty awesome sights to see, from the ground and the air.”

Aircraft Builder’s Risk Insurance: Is Your Aircraft Project Protected?

Thursday, October 11th, 2012

Building or restoring an aircraft can be a fun and rewarding hobby. After all, nothing beats the feeling of someday flying your very own creation. But building/restoring an aircraft is also a lot of work, requiring both time and dedication. And between the hours of hard work and tough choices you will have to make, insurance coverage typically gets forgotten or ignored.

But what happens if disaster – flooding, theft, vandalism, etc. – strikes? Are you covered? Unfortunately, probably not…

Luckily, Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) has the answer! We recently unveiled our new builders and restorers insurance program, designed to protect the aircraft during the building or restoring stage regardless of pilot experience and qualifications. Customized with your needs in mind, this new insurance plan offers flexible liability and hull coverage options.

“As a friend of many aircraft builders and as a homebuilt owner myself, I can only imagine the devastation of losing an aircraft mid-build,” said Jon Harden, president and founder of AIR. “Our affordable program is worth it just for the peace of mind.”

If you are in need of protection for your aircraft or aircraft project , you can receive a free Aircraft Insurance quote by contacting Aviation Insurance Resources at 877-247-7767 or Air-Pros.com.

Our Aviation Insurance Resources Flight Award Winner, Toni Michaelson

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

Toni Michaelson is quickly flying towards her private pilot certificate thanks to the help of Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) during the Women Fly it Forward event in Frederick, MD this March. Her excitement is contagious as she shares a photo from her most recent flight lesson:

 

“This is a photo my flight instructor, Brenda, took (I was actually flying the plane) during my 2nd flight lesson in Frederick, Maryland on Monday. After take-off, she had me head west towards the Appalachian Mountains and take the plane up to an altitude of 4500 feet. As we approached the mountains, there was an enormous bank of clouds lined up along the western slope, and we could see the Appalachian Trail at the ridgeline where the clouds stopped. It looked just like the rolling surf of an ocean, extending as far north and south as you could see. What a truly spectacular sight it was, especially since the clouds started to dissipate within 15 minutes of us flying over them. All I can say is that it was an absolutely amazing day to be up in the air!”

AIR is excited to be a part of Women Fly it Forward again in 2013 and looks forward to igniting more passion in future women pilots.
