Jay Ruffner
Owner / Operator
In early 2020, I made Ruff Air Aviation Arts official. I have developed Ruff Air into a Commercial SEL and A&P contract service that fulfills the needs of the customer while providing a unique and valuable experience.
I have been drawn to aviation all of my life. Since childhood I’ve steadily built my knowledge and skills in both the flight and aircraft maintenance fields. When paired with a 20 year detail oriented, problem solving Nursing career, it creates a service that leaves nothing to chance.
After working in aircraft maintenance shops since 2019 and at Boeing, I obtained an A&P certification. In September of 2023, I added a commercial pilot certification to expand aviation services offerings. I have over 500hrs with high performance and complex endorsements.
We love providing these services:
- Contracted pilot work, i.e., aircraft ferry, survey / pictometry, etc.
- Open to joining a flight department or to pilot your aircraft.
- Aircraft installs, maintenance, and Annual / Prebuy inspections.*
- Ride along flights – i.e. Pilots N Paws missions.**
*Provided by Ruff-Air Aviation Arts LLC and / or partners.
** Aircraft is having extensive maintenance performed. Safety 1st!
