Tactical Air Support
Since its inception, Tactical Air Support (Tactical Air) has utilized innovative business practices to provide our government and industry customers the best value product. Instead of offering a single solution to meet a wide variety of training requirements, we believe it is more cost effective to match the appropriate support capability to the training requirement and pay only for what is needed. In addition to being an F-5AT (Advanced Tiger) Adversary commercial air provider, our talented and experienced cadre of aviators are also trained as expert consultants in a wide range of tactical, technical, and systems support areas. Our team of professionals is a “Ready Bench” of experts ready to provide long term or surge support for any consulting need. Our pilots average over 3,000 individual hours of tactical fighter time, are former Weapons School Instructors or Test Pilots, and have extensive civilian experience as well. There is no group more capable than the team assembled by Tactical Air! Put simply, we have built a business around providing our civilian and military customers world-class support at an affordable price while saving them precious material resources.
