Heritage Aviation Creates Greener Private Flying

Filed under: Wings, Green

Just how green can personal jet travel be? Well, not very. There's no doubt that traveling by private jet wreaks havoc on our carbon footprint.

Vermont companies and artists aided in the design and decoration of the buildings, which include a gym, game room, media room, flight planning and nap rooms, LEKTRO tugs, and FAA-certified and award-winning avionics, maintenance, detailing and aircraft management services. Sadly, it appears the pancake conveyor belt and a maple syrup fountain has been left out of this initial build. If you're in the area, the Vermont Symphony Orchestra will be providing entertainment, and samples of Vermont microbrews will make you feel even better about being there. It's BYO on 'cakes and syrup...
