RAVN Aerospace

RAVN Aerospace is excited to announce the addition of John "JP" Viskup as our newest full-time pilot.

JP holds a degree in Biology with a focus on Marine Biology and Freshwater Ecology. He served 13 years in the Marines as an Attack Pilot in the AV-8B and as an instructor in the T-6B. His military career also included a ground tour as a company commander of a Marine Wing Support Squadron and roles in operations and schedules. After his military service, JP continued teaching as a CFI/II and was promoted to Chief Pilot, also flying part 135 for a private jet charter.

During his career, JP has received standard recognition and achievement medals and notably qualified for the Spartan Race World Championships in the 2022 season.

"Aviation is at a transition phase between manned and unmanned combat aircraft," JP said. "I believe the skills carried by pilots who flew older, less computer-driven aircraft will be critical in this transition, where current pilots need to maintain those older flying skills while learning to deal with new threats posed by drones and AI-driven aircraft."

JP chose RAVN Aerospace for the opportunity to further develop his skills as a tactical aviator and to train and prepare those still actively serving. "As I have gotten to know the individuals working for RAVN, I see a driven, loyal, dedicated group of professionals who truly enjoy what they do. If you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work," he added.
