  • Imagine having to wait 6 hrs in a line for food due to shortages. Or not being able to find the medication your child needs. These are just a few of the realities that our Universal Aviation Venezuela team face on a daily basis. Thank you to our amazing employees for raising over $3,000 worth of supplies for our Venezuela team, including canned food and hygienic supplies. Supplies are on their way! And we admire and thank our Venezuela team for never losing their spirit - even with all of the unknowns regarding their political and economic state, they remain positive and continue to go above and beyond to deliver successful missions to our clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wehavethebestemployees #givingback #bizav #venezuelarelief
  • Today we celebrate a Texas born aviator who reminds us why we embrace Entrepreneurial Spirit as one of our Core Values. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was Douglas Corrigan’s dream to do a solo transatlantic flight. After being denied, he flew from NY to California, but accidentally ended up in Ireland claiming that he had flown the wrong way. He earned his nickname ‘Wrong Way’ Corrigan, notoriety, and a place in #aviation history for pushing boundaries for the sake of exploration.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . . . #wrongwaycorriganday #aviationrebel #followyourdreams #aviationhistory #aviationlegend #avgeek
