Joseph Dail

Born and raised in the small town of Mebane, NC. I took my first flight at 3 years old and spent the rest of my life looking up at the sky. My aviation dream took a hiatus for many years as I was an avid athlete. Finally deciding to focus on Golf as my main sport I got a scholarship to play at Hampden-Sydney College. From there I started my professional career as an insurance agent. After a decade in the industry I worked my way up to Vice-President of Sales for an insurance company out of Raleigh, NC. Covid hit and I was tired of the insurance industry and at the age of 30 I decided to pursue my aviation career. The plan was to go all the way to the airlines. As fate would have it, my wife got pregnant and I realized I did not want to be gone as much as a professional pilot and decided to look into the business side of aviation. I landed at LifeStyle Aviation as the Finance and Insurance Manager. I worked there for two years before finding my home at AirFleet Capital.

Favorite Airplane: DA50RG
Best Aviation Moment: Nailing my power-off 180 on my commercial check ride
Words I live by: If it were easy everyone would do it
Where I got my start: In aviation, LifeStyle Aviation
Outside of the office: I have a beautiful wife, Whitney and the best two and a half year old (yes I am biased), Hamden. My son is obsessed with Golf and Airplanes, which obviously makes me very happy, so as often as possible we are at the golf course or airport. I enjoy a good bourbon, grilling out, live music, Live sporting events and spending time with friends and family. I am a huge NC State fan and also root for the LA Chargers.
