Tailwheel Ferry
About Your Pilot
Alex Dornseif
I grew up flying a Piper J-5 cub and have built over 1100 hours of flight experience in mountainous terrain on both the East and West coasts. Over 600 hours of this time has been in tailwheel aircraft. I have flown across the United States several times in vintage aircraft. Safety will always be my primary focus, and by keeping myself safe I in turn will deliver your aircraft safely to its new home.

Aircraft requirements
The aircraft must be Airworthy with all the required legal documentation as well as record of required inspections. Any issues with the aircraft must be disclosed before airline tickets are booked. Safety will not be compromised for any reason, so be sure to communicate the aircrafts condition to avoid delays. A down payment of $400 is required.
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.
