We are bringing a much-needed upgrade to aviation recordkeeping—think of it as a digital “medical record” for your aircraft, or a Carfax built specifically for airplanes. Instead of flipping through decades of paper logs, owners, buyers, and mechanics can instantly search a complete, organized maintenance history and see ADs or service bulletins in seconds. It’s all about making aircraft ownership easier, more transparent, and far more efficient for everyone involved.

Electronic Medical Records Meet Carfax for Airplanes The same goes for buying a used aircraft, except the problems are usually significantly more expensive to fix.

This week marks a remarkable milestone in aviation history — the 80th anniversary of the first-ever jet takeoff and landing from an aircraft carrier, achieved by the legendary de Havilland DH 100 Sea Vampire.

On December 3, 1945, Royal Navy test pilot Eric “Winkle” Brown made history aboard HMS Ocean when he successfully flew the Sea Vampire from the carrier’s deck. This pioneering moment proved that jet-powered aircraft could operate safely and reliably at sea, forever changing the future of naval aviation.

The Sea Vampire, a navalized version of the iconic Vampire, played a crucial role in advancing early jet technology. Its compact design, tricycle landing gear, and wooden fuselage construction made it uniquely suited for experimental carrier operations during the dawn of the jet age.
