Welcome to AircraftforSale.com. AircraftforSale.com is part of the Flying Online network of websites and digital properties owned by Flying Online, Inc.

Flying Online Inc., designs, develops and operates a network of high-profile, highly trafficked new-media (online) websites and digital properties for the aviation industry.

Our prominent domain names are logical and synonymous to the underlying websites service offering. Meaning, it would be virtually impossible to find anyone that did not immediately understand that UsedAircraft.com displays used aircraft, UsedAirplanes.com displays used airplanes, AircraftforSale.com displays aircraft for sale and Flying.com refers to anything related to flying. This obvious and immediate domain-name-to-website-offering correlation results in our users easily remembering our (domain) names which further results in their frequent return visits and simplistic promotion (referral) of our domain names/websites to others.

Flying enthusiasts and aircraft buyers and sellers from all over the world visit our new-media (digital) properties daily and come back frequently. We are known for building user-friendly yet exceptionally technical digital-only properties. Each property has been designed and developed from the user's perspective. This ensures that our properties are easy to use and that our visitors have a pleasant and highly worthwhile experience.

We address a wide variety of topics within the aviation industry. These include flying jobs, flying lessons, a flying directory, aircraft sales, aircraft parts, aviation real estate, chartering flights and much more.

Flying Online is, and will remain, lean and green. Since virtually every flying enthusiast is part of the new-media (digital/online) generation, we do not own or intend to own any old-media (print) publication(s). In fact, our company was created as a direct result of numerous discussions with individuals and businesses who did not want to be subjected to any more print expenses.

Although we appreciate and have a great deal of respect for many aviation magazines and newspapers, we simply have no desire to be perceived as a pre-1995 advertising platform. The following was a quote from "The Great Magazine Collapse" and perfectly sums up why we are, and will remain, a 100% digital company:

"After all, when compared to online solutions, who would continue to benefit from a delayed and exorbitantly expensive product that is limited in size and content, is outdated, non-editable with no video capability and may or may not contain content the reader is actually seeking, months after it was written and then thrown in the trash moments after it is read?"

Flying enthusiasts can find and access our properties 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, on any digital device including computers, smartphones and tablets. In addition, we are on all the major new-media channels including online websites, social media sites and smartphone/tablet applications.

And, since we don't get involved in print, our customers are never subjected to any of the exorbitantly expensive direct or indirect print and distribution costs.

The start of our business can be traced back to a Sun-N-Fun event in Lakeland, Florida, when Mark Horne, our future President, was having an animated and in-depth conversation with several aircraft brokers and product manufacturers. At issues was the lack of viable advertising options in the aviation industry. Although virtually all aircraft buyers, sellers and flying enthusiast were online at the time, the advertising platforms available were mainly focused on old media (print) and therefore ineffective when compared to online capabilities, extremely expensive and wasteful.

Frustrated and concerned, the brokers and manufacturers convinced Mr. Horne that an alternative form of advertising in the new media (digital/online) world was essential. Mr. Horne immediately set out to find a solution to this difficult problem and gathered an expert team of professionals to assist him.

And with that, Flying Online, Inc. was born.

UsedAirplanes.com was our first website to display used airplanes and helicopters. Created on August 30, 1995, we worked to redesign and relaunch UsedAirplanes.com throughout 2007 and 2008. During this time, we implemented the ideas and suggestions from our broker friends, pilots, aircraft owners, product manufacturers and various people in the aviation industry. The newly redesigned website was launched in July 2009. Since then, UsedAirplanes.com has become a very highly trafficked aircraft-for-sale website known throughout the industry as one of the most user-friendly websites for displaying and purchasing used airplanes and helicopters.

Next, we had the rare opportunity to purchase the website and domain name Flying.com. Flying.com was created on July 29, 1994, prior to any other aviation portal. Flying.com is the highest-valued, top-level, premium (aviation) domain name online. In fact, immediately after our acquisition, the press labeled Flying.com as a "category killer" domain name because of its unsurpassed competitive advantage in the aviation industry. Flying.com came with the conveyance of nearly 2 decades of established online rights, making this purchase extra special. In May 2011, we officially soft-launched the beta (first version) homepage of Flying.com as well as the Aircraft for Sale section of the website (Flying.com/aircraft-for-sale)

In conjunction with developing Flying.com, we redesigned our digital property UsedAircraft.com. Created on September 4, 1996 and relaunched in December 2010, UsedAircraft.com is a mobile-friendly, data-delivery conscience digital property specifically designed to cater to the mobile (smartphone/tablet) market where current bandwidth issues still stifle data-transfer speeds. UsedAircraft.com is a highly trafficked, user-friendly website that operates under an instantly recognizable domain name. When people see or hear the name "UsedAircraft.com" they instantly know what to expect at the website and they remember the name.

Capitalizing on the success of UsedAircraft.com, we began to completely redesign AircraftForSale.com, our latest digital property in our growing stable of high-level digital media properties. Created on January 11, 1996, AircraftForSale.com offers many industry-first innovations and operates under a top-level, high-profile domain name that is instantly recognizable to the service offering. In addition, "aircraft for sale" is the term (keyword) most searched by those interested in selling aircraft or looking for aircraft for sale. In fact, the keyword is searched over 200,000 times each month through all the major search engines. In December 2010 we relaunched AircraftForSale.com as the world's first social media based aircraft-for-sale website.

In June 2011 our traffic reports indicated that we were on track to deliver over one million page views throughout our network of aircraft-for-sale websites and mobile applications. We attribute our rapid growth to our dedicated search engine optimization (SEO) team and our online presence throughout all the social media channels.

Throughout 2011 and 2012 we will continue to optimize all our aircraft-for-sale websites and digital properties to attract highly targeted and serious aircraft buyers, sellers and flying enthusiasts from all over the world. We will also continue to produce industry-first innovations, launch highly technical application programing interfaces (API's) to save our users time and money, offer more user-friendly features and launch several new and valuable sections within Flying.com.

Stay tuned, we have just begun!
