Don Richards

Don Richards has been selling aircraft since the 1970's when his love for aviation landed him a job at Lane Aviation in Columbus, Ohio selling Cessna products. As one of the most successful new and used Cessna sales representatives in the country, Don quickly gained momentum and started his own business selling a variety of used aircraft. In addition, he was one of the largest new Mooney Aircraft dealers in the country. In the late 1980's Don moved substantially into the corporate aircraft market, focusing on turbine aircraft. He worked with Atlanta Jet, Inc. and was one of the founding partners of Allied Jet International.

In 1999, Don moved to Boca Raton, Florida to form Jet Quest, Inc. with his daughter Robin Eissler. Don is an ATP rated commercial pilot with over 8000 hours of flying. Interestingly, he has never flown for hire, but rather built his flying time selling airplanes!
