Paul Allen's 757's

[aeolian]

Anybody know about Allen's 757 operation, Vulcan? I believe they have 3 757's. Don't know where their based, why he needs 3? What they do if not supporting him or his b-ball team? Who's the DO? etc.

Thanks.

I thought he flew around on a Global?

When I lived in SEA, they were managed by TAG Aviation. I worked at Galvin Flying Service when he got the first one, the pilots could hardly qualify for insurance so they were manged by TAG. Good luck, but it's a huge boys club.

Not with TAG any longer, according to my sources (which are unreliable at best).

I think the number is 2, and yes he also has a Global....is there a GV in there too?? or a 604?

ex-TAG yes

However, I think there are others here more in the know.

Seattle based...Huge department that is run in house...ALso has a construction company that is buying up and building in the south lake union area of seattle....Named "Vulcan"....

Very difficult to get in unless you know someone....Rumor has it that Paul can be very difficult to work with...

The latest crazy Paul Allen rumor (or is it Howard Hghes?) that his handlers need to tell Mr. Allen how many steps it is from the elevator to the front door of his hotel suite.

Well at least he loves Jimi Hendrix

Vulcan has been seperated from TAG since Jan of last year. They do charter with some of the corporate a/c on The Air Group's cert. The 757 is a progression for the G-V and Global guys. They don't care if you have a 757 type, or how much time you have in one. I have an old drinking buddy who is very senior there. Besides the Mariners and the Trailblazers, they do a lot of sports charters with the 757s.

One Twin Otter on floats. Four MD900 series helios, One S76C+. One F5B, One Alpha Jet. No Part 135 operations, No association with The Air Group, or TAG Aviation. No sports team charters other than the PDX Trailblazers, SEA Mariners, SEA Seahawks at this time. PGA Owns the Seahawks and the TrailBlazers.

All hiring is done via the Vulcan, Inc. HR website initially. A very interesting place to work, I hear.
