The Pilot

Captain Paul A. Pyfrom, 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 8,000 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 Aztec and Britten Norman Islander. With Cleare Air Charters he flew the Navajo Panther converted Chieftan and with Bahamasair he flew the Shorts 360 and the De Haviland Dash 8.

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