One of the best people in aviation…. Flew a Vision Jet Around the Globe!

Don Medine and Luke Lysen at Cirrus Aircraft VPO event at EAA/Oshkosh 2023

If you mention the name Luke Lysen, people will likely say, “He is one of the good ones”. 

I am happy to know Luke Lysen and call him a friend. He is the GO-TO Vision Jet pilot for those “special missions” around the globe.  He is highly regarded in the aviation industry as an professional aviator, flight instructor, broker, and colleague with affiliations with Cirrus Aircraft, The Flight Academy and Aerista Aircraft, as well as his personal reputation.

One interesting piece of trivia is Luke flew a Vision Jet around the globe, and there is a video recounting the story.
