Basler Receives Master Pilot Award

KLJ is proud to announce that Leon Basler has received the prestigious Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. The Federal Aviation Administration presents this award to pilots who have exhibited excellence, skill and aviation expertise for at least 50 years, while piloting aircraft as “Master Pilots”.

Basler, a pilot and formally trained fine artist, joined KLJ in 2002 to fly the corporate aircraft and be part of the Marketing group when he wasn’t flying. He flew staff to different office locations, meetings and project locations for nearly 10 years.

Basler currently works as a visual specialist and has received national, regional and local recognition for his artwork and designs. He is also active as a flight instructor and an advocate of aviation.
