Another retirement means another water cannon salute for a distinguished aviator. After 25 years in aviation - 21 with Corporate Eagle - and over 13,000 career flight hours, Friedrich Praus is hanging up his coat as a Falcon 2000/2000EASy Captain. We are thankful that Captain Praus has spent his time flying with us, and congratulate him on retiring. Video courtesy of Kevin McCallum.

The water cannon salute is a tradition of respect in aviation, reserved for significant achievements or triumphs. For Barry Black - one of Corporate Eagle's talented Hawker 900XP Captains - a trip underneath the arch marks an end to an impressive career as a professional aviator. We thank Barry for his dedication to providing platinum standard service, and wish him the best in retirement. Photos courtesy of Robert Bowden and Deacon Fancher.

Even a Falcon enjoys soaking up the sun. It may not feel like summer in Michigan quite yet, but with over 4,000 miles of range, this 2000LX brings the warm weather to you.
