Jet Center Medford Awarded "Statement of Support of Guard and Reserve"

Col Richard McReynolds from ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve), a Department of Defense organization, recently honored Jet Center Medford with a special plaque to which we are very proud. The ESGR recognizes outstanding American employers that support and value the military service of their employees.

Those of us at Jet Center Medford are humbled by this gratitude and think that maybe ESG has it backwards. It is all of us civilians that should be honoring those brave men and women in service that make such extreme sacrifices for all of us.

We were reminded of those sacrifices as Jet Center Medford was honored to assist the departure of the Southern Oregon Guard as they left for deployment from the Medford airport this past summer. The commitment on the faces of these soldiers should make us all proud.

Here are some of those photos.

Plane Dollars & Sense Aviation Seminar

On October 29th Jet Center Medford hosted its first "Plane Dollars and Sense" Aviation Seminar with great success. Dozens gathered to see and hear a panel of experts educate them on many aspects of aviation finances. These seven experts came from around the west coast to discuss, Aircraft Financing, 1031 Exchanges, Tax Strategies, Buying and Selling Aircraft and much more. With two aviation attorneys and one aviation CPA on hand, pilots and business people asked some difficult questions and got some terrific answers. Most enjoyed the event so much they begged for us to do it again in 2010. So stand by until next year...
