FLYING HIGH
On Our Company Plane

Bradford Marine has a special air support program now available using our company plane, a PA31-350 turbo charged twin engine aircraft that we acquired in the late 1990’s. To compliment service, Bradford also offers free airport shuttle service for its clients to and from South Florida airports.

Our Piper Navajo Chieftan offers a range of one thousand miles (with reserves) and executive seating. The aircraft is fully instrumented for all IFR operations and cruises at 170 mph at an altitude of 10,000 feet.

Barry Gauch, our Director of Aviation and company pilot, is very experienced spending most of his career with American Airlines. He said, “This is an extremely reliable, safe and strong airplane that fits our operational needs precisely. It is an enjoyable airplane to operate and is also very fuel efficient. I enjoy flying the Bradford Marine Team and our guests throughout South Florida and the Bahamas.”

Captain Barry has developed a strict maintenance schedule by using the Tdata™ AD Research and Maintenance Tracking programs. He has entered all of the aircraft’s mechanical data into this program which automatically alerts him for aircraft directives and maintenance tracking based on either flight hours or calendar days. All maintenance issues are therefore computer supported and easily tracked.
