ATLANTA, Feb. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trailblazers! Trading in their corporate suits for their leather flight jackets to set a world speed record has caught the attention of the Business and Aviation world. Afterburner's Founder & CEO, Jim "Murph" Murphy, will join Jet It's Founder & CEO, Glenn Gonzales as he attempts to set a new aviation speed record in the HondaJet Elite on Tuesday, February 19, 2019!
Jet It's Founder & CEO, Glenn Gonzales, and Jim "Murph" Murphy are both former F-15 fighter pilots and United States Air Force veterans who have made the successful transition from leading elite military teams to running forward leaning corporate companies. It's no coincidence that these former elite military fighter pilots turned successful CEO's are joining forces to set a new aviation speed record.
Jet It combines the most advanced aircraft with the best trained and most experienced pilots. Gonzales asked Murphy to join him in the cockpit for this record breaking flight from Denver, Colorado to Atlanta, Georgia due to his extensive military background, continued passion for aviation, and constant focus on Flawless Execution.
