KNOWING THE AIRCRAFT MATTERS

Jets. Helicopters.
Firsthand perspective.

Explore the aircraft families we support. These are areas of consulting expertise, not a list of aircraft currently for sale.

CESSNA CITATION

A jet for your mission.

From the 500 series to the Sovereign and Citation X, we help weigh acquisition cost, engine status, inspections, and the trips you actually fly.

A bigger view of ownership.

Large-cabin aircraft need a close look at records, corrosion history, engine programs, and upcoming maintenance—not just cabin appeal.

YOUR ADVOCATE AT THE PRE-BUY

Know what you’re buying.
Before you commit.

An attractive aircraft can still carry expensive surprises. We help turn inspection findings and records into a clear decision.

Talk through a pre-buy
01

Set the scope

Choose an inspection facility and agree on a work scope that fits the aircraft and transaction.

02

Look behind the listing

Review logbook continuity, damage history, applicable ADs, service bulletin status, and engine and airframe programs.

03

Understand the findings

Get discrepancy reporting and help separating airworthiness concerns from other negotiation items.

04

Make an informed decision

Receive a written buy, renegotiate, or walk recommendation, with support through delivery acceptance.

MEET YOUR ADVISOR

Hi, I’m Scott Penton.

Aircraft ownership is personal. Your advice should be, too.

I lead South Mississippi Jet & Rotor, combining pilot experience with aircraft acquisition, sales, and owner representation. My role is to help you understand the equipment, ask better questions, and make decisions that fit your goals.

Whether you’re considering your first aircraft or planning your next transaction, you can call or text me directly.

LET’S MAKE IT SIMPLER

A few questions
you might have.

Have something more specific?
Ask Scott directly.

I’m just starting to explore. Is it too early to call?

No. An early conversation helps define your typical trips, passenger needs, operating expectations, and budget before you spend time evaluating individual aircraft.

Can you help if I’ve already found an aircraft?

Yes. We can discuss pre-purchase owner representation, records review, inspection coordination, and delivery support for an aircraft you have identified.

Do you help both buyers and sellers?

Yes. We provide acquisition support and sales representation. We establish whom we represent and the scope of the engagement at the outset. For buy-side owner representation, our role is to advocate for the buyer.

What should I bring to our first conversation?

For a purchase, think about typical routes, passenger count, timing, and an acquisition and operating budget. For a sale or pre-buy, an aircraft listing, specification sheet, and a summary of maintenance and program status are useful starting points.

Do you perform the maintenance or inspection?

Our service is consulting and owner representation: helping select a facility, review the work scope, monitor progress, and understand findings. Maintenance and inspection work is performed by the appropriate maintenance providers.

How much does your support cost?

The scope depends on the aircraft, the transaction, and the support you need. Contact Scott to discuss the work and agree on fees before the engagement begins.
