About ZFX

The saying “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” is completely wrong.

Because when you find a job you love you’ll work even harder and no one in the flying business works as hard as we do. We still have the same amount of un-containable enthusiasm as we did when ZFX was just one man working from a two car garage in 1994.

The Perfect Blend

of Art and Science

Everyone in the flying business claims they’re both technical and artistic but we quite literally don’t get up in the morning and put our pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.

If we can’t do it right the first time, we don’t take it on.
