  • An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

About Yellow Bird Aviation

Yellow Bird Aviation is an FAA certificated air carrier offering flights that recall the golden age of early air travel, with the principle safety first. It flies from Phoenix Deer Valley Airport in Arizona and from Ephraim-Gibraltar Airport in Fish Creek, in Wisconsin's Door County.

Its vintage aircraft are a 1942 Boeing PT-13D Stearman biplane, the classic open cockpit trainer, and a 1930 Stinson SM-8A cabin monoplane. It flies scenic sightseeing tours over the Phoenix desert and Door County's shoreline and orchards, biplane and Stinson rides, flight packages, on-demand charters and flight instruction.

For visitors who want more than a view, an open cockpit biplane ride is a piece of aviation history.
