LEE BLANKENSHIP

LEE BLANKENSHIP

Founder

Lee Blankenship launched her aviation insurance career in 2010, driven by a passion for flight and a commitment to protecting fellow aviators. In 2015, she founded Lima Bravo Aviation, a family owned and operated agency built on trust, expertise, and a pilot’s perspective. With over 15 years in the aviation insurance industry, Lee brings firsthand knowledge as a licensed private pilot and business owner.
Together with her husband, Captain Bob Blankenship, Lee owns and operates two aircraft—living the lifestyle she insures. Their motto, “Pilots Insuring Pilots,” reflects a deep belief in offering the best coverage at the best price, not just for themselves but for every client who shares their love of the skies.
At Lima Bravo Aviation, customers aren’t just policyholders—they’re family. And under Lee’s leadership, the agency continues to soar.

PAUL SIMS

PAUL SIMS

President

Paul’s career path is anything but ordinary—and that’s what makes it interesting. He kicked things off studying Business and Commerce at Daytona State College, then dove into the world of vintage aircraft restoration, bringing old planes back to life with serious attention to detail.
Before stepping into aviation leadership, Paul worked as a Licensed Laboratory Technician and Water Plant Operator, proving he’s no stranger to technical challenges. He has spent the last 10 years as a Licensed Property & Casualty Insurance Agent, adding another layer to his skill set.
Today, Paul serves as President of Lima Bravo Aviation, a role he’s held for the past 3 years after previously serving as Vice President. With a mix of hands-on experience and business savvy, he’s been steering the company forward with a steady hand and a clear vision.

Riley Malcome House

Agent

With over a decade of experience in the insurance industry, I specialize in aviation insurance—helping aircraft owners, operators, and aviation businesses protect what matters most. My career began with a strong foundation in general insurance, but I quickly developed a passion for the unique challenges and opportunities within aviation.

As an independent agent, I provide personalized solutions tailored to each client’s needs, from individual aircraft policies to comprehensive coverage for aviation businesses. My approach is straightforward and client-focused: I believe insurance should be clear, reliable, and designed to give you peace of mind in the skies and on the ground.

Whether you’re a private pilot, a commercial operator, or part of the aviation industry, I bring expertise, dedication, and a commitment to building long-term relationships based on trust and service.

Roger Helton

We are soooo lucky here at Super Petrel USA, Inc. Several years ago when we entered the US market with our Scoda Aeronautica built amphibian aircraft, we could not find anyone to insure our customers. Trust me, like finding financing, that was a big hurdle. Lee Blankenship took us on and found an underwriter that would not only insure our inventory aircraft but offered insurance to our customers. Today, 80% of our new Super Petrel owners are insured by Lima Bravo Aviation, LLC Insurance Agency. For us, it has been a win/win relationship. Thanks Lee!

Bruce Cynamon

I have been flying for over 40 years. During that time I have dealt with numerous insurance brokers. None have provided the attention to detail and personal service that I have received from Lima Bravo. I recommend them most highly.

Robert Kircher

LB Aviation was able to get us a great rate for my Bellanca Super Viking when others failed to deliver. LB Aviation was very responsive and worked with us every step of the way!

 

Daryl Hickman

Outstanding service! Saved $1,200 over my previous broker on identical coverage. Easy to communicate with.
