Experienced & Reliable Flight Crew Available for Part 91 Opportunities We are James “Jim” Townsend and Kelly Townsend, a married corporate flight crew with over 30 years of combined aviation experience and nine type ratings across multiple aircraft. We are seeking Part 91 opportunities where we can bring both our operational expertise and the unique advantage of a proven, long-standing cockpit partnership. We work with a high level of professionalism, discretion, and commitment to safety. Jim has served as Flight Department Manager and Chief Pilot, demonstrating strong leadership, operational oversight, and safety management. Kelly has extensive experience as a flight planner, scheduler, and Captain, bringing precision, organization, and calm decision-making to every flight. Together, we have operated three different aircraft for discerning owners who appreciate our seamless coordination, clear communication, and consistent professionalism — qualities that have earned their trust and resulted in multi-year assignments lasting until the aircraft were sold. Our flight experience includes Part 91, Part 135, and (for Jim) Part 121 operations, giving us a well-rounded understanding of regulatory and operational requirements. We are particularly drawn to Part 91 roles due to the direct owner relationship and the opportunity to develop strong, trustworthy partnerships. If you’re looking for a dependable, highly skilled flight crew who work as a cohesive team to ensure safe, efficient, and respectful service, we would welcome the chance to connect.
