Commander Premier Aircraft Corporation was formed by over 50 owners of Commander aircraft in the spring of 2005. CPAC was formed to submit a bid to buy the assets of defunct Commander Aircraft Corporation from CAC’s bankruptcy trustee and produce new Commander aircraft and support the worldwide Commander aircraft fleet. CPAC’s bid was successful and, CPAC closed the acquisition at the end of June 2005. The acquisition did not include a lease of CAC’s former facility in Oklahoma City and no appropriate space could be found within commuting distance of the Oklahoma City work force. After an intense search, the Company chose Cape Girardeau Regional Airport for its new home. All production equipment and inventory was moved to our new facility in late 2005 and is now fully set up for operations. The board of directors of Commander Premier Aircraft Corporation consists of Gregory L. Walker, President and CEO. Mr. Robert Tippens, serve as Vice-President/ Chief Financial Officer and organizer of the Commander Owners Group and a primary organizer of the Company. CPAC’s operations in Cape Girardeau are under the oversight of Mr. Carl R. Gull, Vice President – Operations. Mr. John Canavan is CPAC’s Inventory and Purchasing Manager. Mr. Michael Bryant is CPAC’s PMA QA Manager.

Canadian aviation pioneer, Russell (Russ) Bradley, started his pilot training centre and flying school in Ottawa in 1946. From the outset, Russ proved an innovator. He and legendary pilot and partner, Weldy Phipps, revolutionized Arctic flying capability by developing the large balloon-like "tundra tires" in response to the Geological Survey of Canada contract awarded to Bradley Air Services in the late 1950s. No longer were their growing number of clients going to be as limited to where and when they could land in the High Arctic.In a few short decades, Bradley Air Services Ltd. has evolved to become Canada's foremost Arctic and remote region air carrier, operating under the trademark name - FIRST AIR. Today, First Air, The Airline of the North, is owned by Makivik Corporation, the body responsible for administering the land claim settlement of the Inuit of northern Quebec. Through a series of prudent acquisitions in recent years (Ptarmigan Airways and NWT Air), First Air has expanded its fleet, its route system, and already extensive range of air carrier capability.For over 40 years, government agencies, the military, scientists, researchers, the resource sector and also adventure seeking tourists from around the world, have all looked to First Air over the years to make the northern reaches of Canada more accessible. Our reputation for reliability and unsurpassed expertise is the progressive culmination of more than 55 years of experience gained primarily in Arctic and High Arctic operations.
