Air Elite has been founded by Cpt. Gianni Bottardi together with a group of pilots.

The company owns a Douglas DC-4, registrated in the United States as N-9015Q.

The aircraft was purchased, restored and maintained immediately in an airworthiness state and operative condition. It is now based in Tucson Arizona, U.S.A.

As most of you know, the Douglas DC-4 has become an almost extinct flying species in today's skies which are continuosly flocked worldwide by Boeings and Airbuses.

Our aircraft is not replica or reproduction. It's the authentic vintage aircraft employed in civil and military air transportation during World War II. Air elite also maintains our DC-4 and encourages individuals to learn and help maintain our airplane with religious care and passion.

We offer the opportunity to fly and operate our Douglas DC-4.

The aircraft is available for :

• dry or wet lease
