Much of our leadership team has been together since the very beginning of the PlaneSense program. Counting several commercially rated pilots in our midst, we all believe in the relevance and value of the PlaneSense program as a practical, logical and sophisticated option for private flying.

Chip Jarry has been advising prospective owners about the PlaneSense® program since 2000 and, when it makes sense, helps them take fractional ownership in a PC-12 to address their private flying needs. Born in Wichita, aviation is in his blood. Following his Bachelor’s degree in Urban Planning from the University of Delaware, Chip quickly became an instrument-rated commercial pilot. He loves his work for the PlaneSense program because he consistently gets positive feedback and new customer referrals from share owners. To him it’s a reflection of a company that has the resources and corporate philosophy to deliver what it promises. When he’s not helping prospective share owners get to know the PlaneSense program, and when he’s not spending time with his wife and two kids, Chip can be found officiating college lacrosse, driving his 911 at Porsche track weekends, saltwater fishing, playing hockey or playing drums in his church band.
