ABOUT BRANDON MORTON

Brandon joined Castle in August of 2021; he began to fly cargo on the Cessna Caravan and the Saab 340B. Brandon likes flying cargo at Castle because he feels it is a terrific way to build time and experience in various aircraft that most people don’t get to fly. To low-time pilots that may be considering Castle, he says, “Working in the 135 world as a low-time pilot benefits you with the experience it gives you, and it also lets you see a side of aviation that some pilots never get to see.
