From fighter pilot to the owner of a fleet of luxury aircraft. Alex MacPhail  talks to Glenn Gonzales  who is the co-founder and CEO of Jet It,

Gonzales, a Lieutenant  Colonel Air Force veteran, started his career flying F-15s in 2005. He served as an instructor pilot and was later deployed to Kyrgyzstan. He transitioned to the reserves in 2009 and began working at planemaker Gulfstream while pursuing his MBA at the University of South Carolina. The Houston native had his first brush with elite travel while demonstrating flights for executives and high net worth customers.
He met his future co-founder, Vishal Hiremath, who also worked in sales at Gulfstream, in 2013. After flying to India, they were stuck together for a week because the plane needed repairs.

The following year, he went to work at Honda Aircraft Company, managing sales for the Northeast region. For years, he kept hearing the same complaint from customers, that they loved HondaJets but couldn't justify the cost of buying a plane. In 2016, he started planning to launch his own business and currently he captains flights for Jet It occasionally.
