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!
