The Team
Steve Koch

Steve has been flying in the Louisville area since 1970. Over the past 50 years, he has flown part 135 charter, cargo and passengers, air ambulance, and has been a corporate pilot for 35 years. Steve has also been a CFII and MEI flight instructor since 1973. When not flying the biplane, he is a missionary pilot with Agape Flights based in Venice, FL making regular flights to Haiti, Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas in an Embraer 110.
C.J. Koch

For C.J. the love of flying is generational. Since he is Steve’s son he has literally been flying all of his life. He holds type ratings in  Learjet, Cessna Citation, Embraer 145, Airbus A300, and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, and Boeing 757/767. He is currently a 767 captain for a major airline. C.J. looks forward to stepping out of the jets and flying “real” airplanes, like the big red Waco and taking you on a Barnstorming adventure over the beautiful city of Louisville.
Billy Ladd, Maintenance Director

Billy, a licensed aircraft and power plant mechanic with Inspection Authority (IA), has spent a full career in aircraft maintenance. He is an authority on radial engines, having worked on many different models of the multi-row radials in the military. He spent 35 years in mechanic work for commercial airlines including Delta, Air Transport International, and Fed Ex. Don’t be surprised if you see Billy walking around the plane wiping little spots of dirt and oil off as you’re boarding.
