I Didn’t Know a Thing About Airplanes
and Started an Aviation Business Anyway |

By Caryn Wolf
In 1996 I was a photo stylist. While location scouting for a hangar in which to shoot a video, I went to an FBO at the Oakland International Airport and got the royal treatment from the boss. We were given full access to the facility for our shoot and the results were fantastic. In the hangar there were Citation, Hawker, and Gulfstream business jets and even a vintage Stearman biplane… and I had no idea what I was looking at!
