Brad Vineyard is the founder and President of ComAirTrading, Inc. He embarked on his aviation career with the USAF in 1968 and attended the University of Maryland Madrid extension campus while serving in the Air Force. After earning his wings in 1973, he has accumulated more than 13,000 flight hours with diverse experience including commuter airline, corporate, aircraft management and charter. He continued to develop his aviation management experience in 1985 when he was promoted to Chief Pilot for a major oil company's Houston base. During three decades supporting business aviation, Mr. Vineyard took advantage of the exceptional management training programs sponsored by his corporation, including the Darden School at the University of Virginia. In 1995, he developed an automated spreadsheet that led to the development of Travel$ense, a program distributed by the National Business Aircraft Association, which helps users recognize the cost benefit of business jet travel. Before starting ComAirTrading and changing his primary focus from business aircraft to commercial airliner remarketing, Mr. Vineyard served as Director of Shuttle Operations for Intel's corporate airline on the West coast, under contract to a NetJet's company.
