Own it, fly it, sell it. Without the paperwork tax.
We're a small team of pilots, owners, and software people building the tools we wished existed when we were logging hours, splitting expenses, and trying to buy or sell an airplane without giving up 6% to someone who played telephone for six weeks.
Est. 2026
Everyone on the team has owned, partnered on, bought, or sold an airplane. Every single one of those experiences taught us something that was broken — and fixable.
Brokers still operate on a model from 1985. Escrow runs on wire confirmations read aloud over the phone. Logbooks live in shoeboxes. Partnerships settle up on the back of a napkin — or don't.
The day-to-day isn't much better. Logging time across a partnership. Reconciling who paid for what fuel, which hangar months, which annual. Producing something a CPA can actually work with at tax time. The tools we found were either outdated, overpriced, or both. Nothing felt built for how ownership actually works.
Nobody had built a modern interface between buyer and seller — a place where the logbook speaks for itself, the maintenance history is legible, and you can talk to the other side of the transaction without a middleman skimming six figures off the top.
So we're building it. The tool we wished existed when we owned, flew, partnered, and sold.
like buying a Tesla.
Selling one should feel
like Carvana took it off your hands.
A marketplace with real transparency between buyer and seller. A logbook your CPA can open without calling you. A partnership ledger that settles itself. An open, trusted community where a verified history means something — and getting to a deal doesn't require a broker holding all the cards.
Every document, every timeline, every number visible to both sides. No third party controlling what you see.
A flat monthly fee per tail. No commission on sales. No premium placement. No upsells.
Open schemas for logs and maintenance. Your data is yours. Trust is earned publicly.
In plain language.
None of these are glamorous. All of them cost owners money, time, and goodwill with their A&P, their CPA, and their partners. Wingbase exists to remove the friction from each one.
Four things we won't compromise on.
We're small on purpose. Staying small is the only way we get to keep these promises. When a decision gets hard, these are the four we come back to.
Small team.
Owner-operators.
We're pilots and software people who also happen to own airplanes. Every feature comes from a real ownership headache we've lived through. If you have a thought about what we should build next — tell us directly. A person reads everything.
