He grew up around his father’s company, Executive Aircraft Services, which became a division of Cooper Airmotive (now Aviall).

 


Emery became a corporate pilot, flying for Gulf Oil in Houston for 20 years and retiring as chief pilot. He later started his own consultancy, Emery Aviation Services, which adopted the same logo used by his father’s company.
