About Us
Jimmy Leeward, the son of an aviation pioneer, was literally raised on the airports his father operated. He worked in every facet of his father's airplane business since he was old enough to wash an airplane. As an adult, he diversified into real estate development. Gradually, he flew less for business and more for sport. It was then he began to dream of an Aviation Community. Jimmy joined the Experimental Aircraft Assoc. (EAA) in the early seventies and was soon elected to the EAA Museum foundation board. When the EAA grew out of their space in Milwaukee, Jimmy was tapped to head the Building and Acquisition Committee which was responsible for the planning, design, and construction of a $10 million museum. Following in his father's footsteps, Dirk Leeward served on the Sun 'n Fun board. A third generation aviator, Dirk also grew up with airplanes. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Business Administration, Dirk joined his father in the family real estate business. That dream of an aviation community built for pilot by pilots came about in 1980. During the planning of Leeward Air Ranch, they visited over 25 airport communities across the country to integrate the best features while avoiding the problems. Together, Jimmy and Dirk, have combined their professional real estate
experience and extensive aviation background to create the perfect place
for the pilot, Leeward Air Ranch. |
