An Aviation Love Story and Expertise Combined

OAS began in 2009 with Teresa Vinson’s return to flying, instructed by Kirby Ortega, leading to a partnership in life and aviation. With over 60 years of combined experience, the Ortegas offer comprehensive services in pilot training and aircraft management, specializing in Citations, Hawkers, and Beechcraft jets. OAS embodies a community for aviation enthusiasts to learn, share, and grow their own flying stories.

Every story has a beginning, and some have a few beginnings. We like to think the story of OAS began in 2009. After a hiatus from flying, Teresa Vinson decided to get back to the cockpit on one of the hottest days of the year. Her instructor was Kirby Ortega. A friendship turned to courtship turned to marriage—that is the foundation for OAS. Kirby and Teresa’s partnership and shared passion for aviation guides every decision at OAS. The Ortegas are grateful to share that passion with you.

Kirby and Teresa have combined aviation experience of over 60 years. Whether you are interested in aviation and want to become a private pilot, desire to further your aviation training, or are a business jet owner and need assistance with the ownership process – they have the expertise and the passion to assist you!

The Ortega’s and their team offer in-depth knowledge of flying, flight training and maintenance programs in Citations, Hawkers and Beechcraft jets. Their goal with the business is to offer a community of support – regardless of your aviation interest. While the story of OAS is still evolving, we invite you to be a part of our aviation family, to share our story and to begin your very own story.
