About Us
The Taxijet concept was conceived at 36,000 feet
above the Pacific Ocean in the winter of 2004 as an alternative to
an airline pilot career that ended abruptly. The company was founded
by Roger Burton of Union, Missouri in January 2005 and the
Taxijet.com web site was first published in March 2005.
Roger earned his Private Pilot certificate in 1982 and
has since flown the A-4 Skyhawk and AV-8B Harrier for the U.S.
Marine Corps. He began his military career as an Electrician's
Mate in the nuclear power Navy. He received a Navy ROTC
scholarship to Oregon State University with a major in Computer
Science. He participated in Desert Storm and served in
numerous billets including Forward Air Controller, Legal Officer,
Administrative Officer, Intelligence Officer, Maintenance Safety
Officer and Assistant Operations Officer. After honorable
separation from the Marine Corps he started his civilian career
as a flight instructor and charter pilot, flying the Cessna
421B, for Lenair Aviation in Orange County California,
(CFI/CFII/MEI/ATP). Roger flew the Canadair Regional Jet for
Atlantic Coast Airlines but was furloughed when ACA broke its ties
with United Airlines and became Independence Air. He flew the
Boeing 757 for American Trans Air but was furloughed when ATA went
into bankruptcy. His tale of furlough is a common story in the
airline industry but Roger shifted his focus to the coming
revolution in air travel and created Taxijet as his third
career.
