Jamail Larkins

Jamail is a trailblazing aviator and entrepreneur. His story includes accomplishments inside and outside of the cockpit! He began making history by leaving his hometown of Augusta, GA and soloing a powered aircraft, a Cessna 172, at the age of 14 in Canada. Two years later, he became the first student pilot to solo the World’s Best Selling Single Engine airplane, the Cirrus SR line of aircraft at 16.  His senior year of high school, became one of the youngest airshow performers in the U.S at 18. In college at Embry-Riddle, Jamail became the First Ambassador for Aviation & Space Education for the Federal Aviation Administration. 


Jamail has accomplished just as much outside of the cockpit. By age 21, he had transformed a small part-time pilot supply company into an actual aircraft leasing firm, with a 7-Figure leasing portfolio, including clients from small flight schools to major universities across the country. 

He’s been active in the industry, has become a highly influential leader in the aviation industry. Jamail has worked with the majority of the leading aviation organizations (EAA, AOPA, NBAA, etc.), has testified in front of Congress (See Video), and even the White House has asked for his opinions on forming federal law.
