History

Our Journey
Through The
Years

Since 1982, Flightline Group (FGI) has evolved from a regional aeromedical operator into a premier multi-brand Technical Service Center. Our history is defined by a commitment to technical precision and a deep-rooted understanding of the aircraft we sell, service, and fly.

1980s:

Laying the Foundation

1982 – Founded by Paul "Mac" and Carmen Langston in Tallahassee, FL to provide and promote professional aviation services.
1982–1984 – Our first operation was launching Life-Flight, the Tallahassee area's first hospital-based aeromedical program. It became the 48th air ambulance operation in the US. By 1984, it became the seventh busiest program in the country, providing helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft service across North America and the Caribbean.
1983 – We began an air taxi charter service to over 14,000 cities throughout North America and the Caribbean. The clientele was varied and interesting; including such notables as President George H.W. Bush, Chuck Yeager, Bob Hope, The Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffett, Gov. Bob Martinez, Sen. Bob Graham, Robert Urich, Governor Dukakis, Senator Kemp, Governor Chiles, Ed Bradley, and Hulk Hogan.
Mid-1980s to early-1990s – FGI (formerly known as Flightline) partnered with the City of Tallahassee and Tallahassee Regional Airport to develop a full-service aviation support center. During this time, we divested from helicopter aeromedical contracts to focus fully on privatization and the development of a fixed base operation.

1990s:

Becoming Flightline

1994 – We opened the General Aviation Terminal in Tallahassee, offering 24/7 world-class aviation services.
1997 – We expanded to Gainesville, FL, providing aircraft fueling and line services at Gainesville Regional Airport, which we continued until 2003.
1999 – Named exclusive Piper Aircraft dealer for multiple southeastern states, which now include Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

2000s:

Expanding Capabilities

2002 – Our Flightline Development Corporation finalized plans to develop and manage the Compass Pointe complex, featuring 32,000 sq ft of buildings, 22 acres of ramp and development space, and facilities for aviation businesses like HondaJet Southeast. That same year, we began managing the expanded T hangar area, adding 47 new hangars, a pilots' lounge, and an aircraft wash rack.
2004 – Opened Piper Parts Plus (P3) in Memphis, TN, now the largest Piper parts distributorship in the world, to support Piper Aircraft and the Piper community.
2006 – We launched fueling services at Okaloosa Regional Airport and built a full-service fuel farm. Operations transferred to Million Air in 2009 following the sale of our Tallahassee FBO.
2006 – Honda Aircraft Company appointed us as the HondaJet Southeast dealership, serving eight southeastern states.
2009 – Opened our 33,000 ft² Regional Service Center at Tallahassee Regional Airport and shifted focus fully to sales and technical services.

2010s:

Continued Innovation

2012 – We completed our 15,000 square foot Compass Pointe Aircraft Hangar and were appointed as the Southeast authorized dealer for Mahindra Aerospace Airvan.
2013 – Flightline Technical Services became a Certified Part 145 Repair Station. This certification enhances our services to include avionics testing, repair and installation capability.
2019 – We were appointed Authorized Dealer and Service Center for Kodiak Aircraft serving Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi.
2026 – Piper Aircraft expanded our dealer territory to include Mid-Atlantic states, recognizing our expertise and customer-first approach.
Today – Our rich history is the foundation for how we operate today as Flightline Group (FGI) Aircraft Sales for Kodiak, Piper, and Preowned Turboprop, Flightline Group (FGI) Technical Services, FGI Avionics, and Flightline Group (FGI) Development Corporation—with locations in Tallahassee (TLH) and Vero Beach (VRB).
