During Donald Staszko’s 42 years and 30,000 hours of flying and 32 years with American Airlines, he wisely built a real estate and commercial property development business. Although Staszko retired from the airline in December 2005 before the then-age 60 rule would have forced his departure, he had also made a well timed investment at Plymouth Municipal Airport in Massachusetts. He could have spent a few more years at the airline, he said, “but it’s no fun. Corporate aviation is where to be.”

Plymouth Airport is located south of Boston and north of Cape Cod in an area that is growing as people move away from crowded metropolitan communities. When Staszko arrived in 1999 there was already an established maintenance provider, a large flight school, an active glider operation, a helicopter operator and plenty of private hangars.
