He has audited aircraft for acquisition by large shipping companies, as well as represented financial/leasing institutions on lease returns/rejects of aircraft from operators.

Donald (Don) Beelart (Vice President, Technical Operations): Don has spent over 40 years of service in the aviation industry. With expertise spanning disciplines such as maintenance, flight operations, documentation, sales/acquisitions/leases, and organizational management, his knowledge and understanding of what is necessary to succeed in the modern aviation industry could only be acquired through time and hands-on experience.

As a key member of the 3Eagle team, among his many duties is assuring that 3Eagle's customers receive the highest quality products and services that they deserve and rely on. All 3Eagle projects are subjected to his scrutiny and must meet his high quality standards. His extensive knowledge of a large variety of aircraft, engines, spare parts, documentation, and sales acquisitions make him a "go to" source both internally and externally.

Don's aviation career started in the US Army in helicopter maintenance, shortly followed by flight school and US Army Test Pilot School where he was qualified on Bell UH-1 Hueys and OH-58 Kiowas. After his service to his country, he joined the Evergreen International Aviation team in McMinnville, Oregon, as an administrator and departed over a decade later as the Vice President of Sales and Contracts at the Marana Maintenance Center where he participated in all facets of the aviation maintenance repair overhaul (MRO) business.

When United Parcel Services (UPS) decided to expand into the Air Cargo business, Don was hired as a Quality Control specialist tasked with establishing the Aircraft Records department and training all the personnel who have the responsibility of maintaining these vital documents. He was instrumental in the auditing and building of records packages of over 150 aircraft entering the UPS fleet from various U.S. and international sources. Once the fleet was established, he managed the purchasing and surplus aircraft parts groups where he built on to his knowledgebase in the material fleet management/support aspects.

Since retiring from UPS in 2004, Don has performed numerous records audits and physical aircraft inspections, many of which have been FedEx acquisition projects. Don can step into any operator's records department and perform in-depth audits utilizing his vast knowledge of the various maintenance and records programs used throughout the industry.
