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. Not forgetting his dream to become a pilot, Marvin left USAirways in 1999 to pursue flight training at Crystal Aero Group in Crystal River, Fl. where he obtained his Private Instrument License before he finished his Multi Commercial License at Orlando Flight Training.
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
