“Ever since I became interested in flying, I had my mind set on the airlines. I always imagined that if you wanted to be in aviation, that was the only path to go on. My home flight simulator was always in use, loaded with Boeing 747s, Airbus A380s, and the like. Recently, however, my view of aviation and its career opportunities expanded exponentially. The main contributor to this was discovering the world of general and corporate aviation.
Galaxy FBO now has a second location serving the air traffic in North Houston and the Montgomery County, Texas.
