If all goes according to plan, ex airline pilot Richard Ashbrook could get it right to create 50 to 100 aviation jobs at the Clarkesville-Montgomery County Regional Airport. The initiative is something that he has thought about for many years and will focus the airport to handle more corporate aircraft and passengers. The old maintenance hangar already there will be transformed into a flight school, Pilot Center, and restaurant, with 22 new hangars also being built on the grounds.
The proposal sees Ashbrook partner with the current fixed based operator Robert Wyatt to form Sky Aviation which will make a full service FBO and flight school eligible for VA benefits. This is something that is really needed in the area and Ashbrook wants to start by building two new large hangars south of Outlaw Field, one of them being large enough to house a corporate jet. The other 20 hangars will be for smaller planes.
The main aspect to Sky Aviation becoming a reality is funding, but Ashbrook is already working on a business plan to enable him to apply for a Small Business Administration loan with the help of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center. According to Ashbrook, “Dr. (Ronald) Gordon (TSBDC business counselor) says it’s a very strong project and one that is needed here.”
Most of the employment would be in the form of aviation maintenance jobs, but there are also jobs for pilots, trainers and instructors, as well as admin and reception staff, along with restaurant staff. This is a great opportunity to keep your eye on if you hope to get work in aviation maintenance or airport jobs of any kind.
If all goes well, Ashbrook and Wyatt hope to break ground and establish Sky Aviation in the Spring of 2011, which gives you the perfect amount of time to find out all about the different types of airline maintenance jobs there are and to find out what you need to qualify for the jobs that will be on offer. Many of the airport jobs and aviation jobs will require many years of study in engineering, and technical fields, but there are some jobs that you will be able to apply for where very little experience or tertiary education is required.
