Tailwheel Ferry
About Your Pilot
Alex Dornseif
I grew up flying a Piper J-5 cub and have accumulated over 600 hours in tailwheel aircraft alone. I have flight experience in mountainous terrain on both the East and West coasts and have flown across the United States several times. Safety will always be my primary focus, and by keeping myself safe I in turn will deliver your aircraft safely to its new home.

Maintenance & Delays
Maintenance is always a possibility when flying unknown aircraft. I will always consult the owner about remedies as soon as possible. If repairs are to be made, I will put the owner in contact with the maintenance shop and assist on the ground in any way I can.
With other delays such as weather, airport closures, density altitude restrictions, or safety related issues, the owner will be notified and updated as to the situation and progress.

Rates do not include ramp fees, maintenance, fuel, oil, hotels, airline tickets, Ubers or anything else required for the operation or moving of the aircraft. Daily rates are negotiable depending on the kind of flying being requested.
