On February 14, Airport Journals produced a new breed of Business Aircraft and Jet Preview at Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport (TMB) in Miami, Fla., hosted by the Falcon Trust Air FBO. Sponsored by Saab, this first-class event attracted private aviation attention with a location that provides the highest level of service, comfort, technology and luxury at a flight base.

Upon arrival, a friendly and professional staff greeted the invited guests, executives and aviation’s elite. Rich finishing touches, inspiring Mediterranean-style architecture, imported marbles and impeccable attention to detail and luxury were a welcoming statement in the Florida sunshine.
Linsey and Justin Lips organized this first Business Aircraft & Jet Preview of 2006, with many more scheduled this year (check www.jetpreview.com).
Business aircraft of all descriptions were present on the Falcon Trust Air ramp and hangar surrounded by the latest Saab vehicles on display. This gourmet catered event drew a large number of active buyers in the aviation marketplace.
This Business Aircraft & Jet Preview was near the pristine beaches, warm Atlantic Ocean waters, and Miami’s acclaimed nightlife. It also was near the heart and soul of business aviation professionals, making it a new breed of Jet Previews.
