Your company may have evolved into PAD at KDCA.
No, PAD was already in business, they were the people that chartered our aircraft and pilots.
A Mr. & Mrs. Hess owned the company, and I don't know where they were from, Maybe OK?
Okay, now this may have a link to Oklahoma. A guy by the name of Otto Hess owned a FBO/charter/flight training company based at Wiley Post airport (KPWA) in Oklahoma City, called Tulakes Aviation. A play on the words Two Lakes, as when Wiley Post airport was first built, it was called Two Lakes airport, as it is built between two lakes in Oklahoma City.
So it is possible that his son may have owned PAD. Otto Hess, long passed now, sold the FBO at KPWA to a wealth oil man in the mid-70s for a reported ridiculously high amount of money. After that I lost track of the Hess family. Never the less, PAD was in business well before Hess sold his FBO to the oil man.
Hope this helps.
