Welcome to Black Sheep Aviation, our goal is to earn your business. 

How do we earn your business?

By providing quality aerial and land-based photography and videography. 

 

Perhaps you're a realtor? You are looking to add something new to your presentation to potential buyers. Why not use aerial photography not only can your client see the property from the air, but they can also see the property boundaries! Perhaps that property has a unique feature that can only been seen from air. 

 

Are you in need of an aerial inspection?  We offer thermal and standard photography and videography services. 

 

Maybe you have a large acreage tract you have just purchased? It is raw land impassable on foot. You're trying to decide where to put that dream home? You could hire a dozer and send them in to clear a lane into the property. In that process they wipe out some beautiful Oak trees, Mountain Laurel, and Purple Sage. Before you have even started to build, your place has lost some of that Texas appeal everyone wants. With a visual aerial inspection, you have photographs and or video that will help you make that big choice of the ideal place for that new home.

 

Perhaps you own livestock? Have some acreage large or small and like us here at Black Sheep, you have a few head that just don't like to be seen. Or maybe a mama cow had that calf you have been waiting for, and your concerned about their wellbeing. You could go hunt them on your side by side, but we all know how protective and onery a brushed-up mama cow with a newborn is, she'll be more than happy to rearrange the front, rear or both bumpers of your side by side to protect that new baby. A drone gives you an advantage to see where they are, maybe get close enough to give them a good look over. From there you are in a position to make an attempt at recovering the new baby or letting them come in on their own.

 

Do you own a hunting ranch and want to get an accurate count of the deer. We are Licensed through Texas Parks Wildlife to count deer as well as locate that big buck that got away on a hunt. Using the M30T Thermal Capable drone. Scouting that deer lease to find the trails and locate the perfect places to put a feeder or deer stand.

 

 

 

 

Benefits of Flying With a Full Service Aviation Charter Company

Air charter flight services offer a variety of benefits to business and personal travelers. These include faster and safer travel, flexibility, and convenience. They also allow you to avoid airline layovers and delays.

ACS arranges private jet, commercial airliner and cargo aircraft charters around the world as well as provides onboard courier solutions. The company has offices across six continents.

Aircraft Selection

Unlike scheduled flights, which force you to fly on whatever plane is available at the time of your reservation, private jet charter offers the flexibility of choosing from thousands of aircraft worldwide. You can select your aircraft based on passenger capacity, range requirements and cabin comforts like seating options, entertainment systems, onboard amenities, baggage capacity and more.

On-demand private aviation also saves you time at the airport, allowing you to skip the lengthy line-ups and queues that can be common with traditional airlines. You can depart from any international airport and land closer to your destination, which often means less travel time.

CSI has held federal Government contracts for aviation logistics, aircraft management and charter flight services, including military charters. In addition, CSI represents several major U.S. airlines as their assigned agent to the Department of Defense (DOD) and handles their civil reserve air fleet (CRAF) issues. CSI’s military aviation services include air carrier and aircraft leases, aircraft maintenance, and ground support.

Personalized Service

We understand your time is important. Our on-demand private jet charter puts time back in your schedule, so you can focus on what matters most.

Look for companies that have a strong safety record and clear pricing, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges. Pay attention to customer service reviews and consider whether the company is punctual in responding to questions or concerns.

Clearly communicate your desired flight itinerary, including a detailed list of passengers and their seating requirements. In addition, let your private jet charter company know of any specific in-flight preferences or dietary restrictions, as well as any special accommodations you may require.

Unlike consumer brands and services, you likely won’t see many online air charter service reviews. Security and privacy concerns might play a role, but the industry could benefit from more online comments—particularly if companies take advantage of the opportunities to elevate standards and promote transparency.

Flexibility

With charter flights, you can depart whenever you choose and fly to destinations not served by scheduled airlines. This flexibility allows businesses to meet with clients, customers, suppliers and employees without having to deal with the hassles of airline travel.

Charter flights also offer enhanced safety and security. Operators are required to comply with rigorous air safety standards and crew members are highly trained professionals. Plus, fewer people are onboard the plane, making security checks more efficient.

The main drawback of charter flight services is typically the price tag. A large freight forwarder can mitigate this challenge by having deeper relationships with airlines and offering more options. For example, they may have the ability to buy space on a plane and resell it to their clients for a fraction of the cost. This is called partial charter. It’s a great option for businesses looking to create a more nimble supply chain that can respond quickly to changes in demand.

Safety

In the world of private aviation, safety is a top priority. Full service charter operators are held to legally mandated FAA regulations and often surpass these requirements by employing their own in-house safety protocols that go above and beyond what’s required.

Pilot error is the leading cause of air travel crashes and a number of those could have been prevented by a more rigorous training program, rest requirement and flight planning procedures; aircraft maintenance and upkeep; mandatory use of CVRs and FDRs; or other voluntarily implemented safety systems.

It’s important to review the FAA certification and insurance certificates of any operator that you consider flying with, as well as their score on TripCHEQ, a free online report from Cincinnati-based ARG/US. This allows travelers to see if an operator has passed an enhanced set of safety measurements known as the Wyvern Standard.
