When it comes to buying an aircraft, where you take delivery can make a major financial difference. Minnesota is known as a “fly-away” state, offering one of the most tax-friendly aircraft delivery opportunities in the country. Coordinating your closing and delivery at Elliott Aviation’s Flying Cloud (FCM) facility can help reduce—or even eliminate—sales tax at purchase, while setting you up for smarter long-term tax planning. 👇 Learn more in the comments about how strategic delivery and proactive tax planning can maximize your investment.

Leadership is tough. No matter how well you prepare or deliver, there will always be people who believe they could do the job better, if only they had the opportunity. At Elliott Aviation, our leaders stand at the tip of the spear, setting the standard and defining the culture that drives who we are, how we operate, and the way we take care of our customers. It’s easy to become fixated on financials, after all, they’re essential to sustaining any business. Bottom line, people produce results, and strong leaders today motivate and develop the future leaders of tomorrow. Having the right leadership team in place ensures results align with your company’s strategy and long-term vision. I’m incredibly proud of what the entire team at Elliott Aviation has accomplished in 2025, and I’m excited for what this team will achieve in 2026 and beyond. If you’re considering the next step in your career, I invite you to visit our website and explore how you can challenge yourself and allow our team of leaders to help take your career to new heights. If you’re leading a team today regardless of industry, ask yourself, are you a boss, a bully, or a buddy? The tough conversations, the ones we’d often prefer to avoid, are what truly define our leadership. Great leaders know how to be assertive without tearing people down. I continue to believe in leading by example. I never ask my team, or our leaders, to do anything I’m not willing to do myself, and ask them to lead with that same mindset. Set the standard, and it never hurts when you genuinely love what you do and who you do it for. Elliott Aviation
