The Pilots

Paul Pyfrom

Paul, a Bahamian born in Nassau in 1965, has had a passion for flying since 1985 when he began his aviation training in Canada. In 1987 he joined American Flyers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and it was at this time he acquired his Multi-Engine Commercial License with Instrument Rating. A short while later he acquired the U.S. Airline Transport License. In 1992 he had fun adding a Seaplane License to his list of qualifications and in 1996 Paul spent much time in preparation for passing his British Performance A and General Tech Exams which then qualified him to join our National Airline, Bahamasair. He has been through many Flight Safety Training programmes and continues to refresh his skills.

Paul has over 9,200 hours under his belt, most of which were clocked up flying over the islands of The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and Cuba. At the start of his career with Trans Island Airways he flew the Piper Aztecs and Britten Norman Islanders. With Cleare Air Charters he flew the Navajo Panther converted Chieftans and with Bahamasair he flew the Shorts 360s and the De Haviland Dash 8 300s.

Paul is now very excited to be able to offer you a professional charter service with his own company Take Flight Air Charters.

Marvin Jordan

Marvin, born in 1968, caught the aviation bug during the summer of 1985. It was that year where he got his first summer job at M & D Charter Services Ltd., a local charter operator. That's when Marvin decided he wanted to get his pilots license , but due to financial constraints, this had to be put on hold.

In 1987 Marvin was hired by Piedmont Airlines, now USAirways, as a Customer Service Agent, and a year later was promoted to Passenger Service Supervisor.

Marvin returned to Nassau where he was able to fly for Air Ambulance Services Ltd as co-pilot on their King Air 200. He has passed the Flight Safety Course on the Cessna Grand Caravan and is always looking to expand his flying skills when the opportunity arises. Marvin has over 2,200 hours of flight time flying throughout The Bahamas, USA, Cuba and the Turks & Caicos Islands
