Testimonials

Jonathan Goldman, ATP

I am delighted to recommend Robert Tarleton as a highly skilled and extremely professional SF50 Captain. I have flown with Robert as my instructor for 3 and a half years though instrument, SF50, commercial and ATP Single Engine Land ratings. Robert was a mentor pilot for me, flying together 4 times to the East Coast from San Francisco and over 50 times to San Diego. Though smoke, snow, ice, wind and short runways, passenger and medical evacuation flights, we have had some amazing adventures. Robert went on to fly SF50 Part 135 for Charter Operations and continued to build his exceptional skill set that will be a great asset to whoever flies with him.
