Bill Moog had been working for Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories, in a team tasked with developing automatic control devices for use in advanced aircraft and guided missile applications. Bill's part in that was to invent a practical electro-hydraulic servovalve – a high performance control device.He developed a design that he thought was an improvement on anything that had been done before. He took it to present to Johns Hopkins University, who were funding the project. They didn't think it was a breakthrough.By the next morning, Bill had redrawn and redesigned his ideas. This time he was certain he had come up with a truly revolutionary servovalve. He showed it to Cornell. Nobody wanted it.Bill was undeterred. The upside of the rejection was that, because nobody saw the potential in the device, nobody was going to stand in his way if he went out and made it himself. And that's what he did. He set up shop in an old airplane hangar. His brother Art sold his house and joined him. They got Lou Geyer to come on board to test the results and explain the product to customers. And they convinced a couple of machinists to agree to make the components, even though they couldn't pay them anything until the valves were sold. But they did sell. And before long, that original servovalve was joined, one by one, by an inspiring portfolio of breakthrough products that helped shape the most high-tech industry sectors in the world. And those first few employees were joined by a growing workforce who subscribed to the same ideals as the three founders – that tough problems only serve to challenge those who are creative and determined to come up with even more ingenious solutions.

In July 1997 Corporate Wings began development of the industry’s first nationwide previously owned aircraft fractional ownership program under the name Flight Options, Inc. In October 1998, Flight Options was formally launched at the 51st Annual NBAA Convention in Las Vegas, NV. While fractional ownership of aircraft was a proven concept with new aircraft, primarily supported by the aircraft manufacturers, Flight Options became the first company to offer a complete line of jets at a 35% savings over comparable aircraft offered new by other programs. Flight Options quickly became the fastest growing fractional program in June 1999 by adding 100 customers in just nine months. In December 2001, Flight Options combined operations with Raytheon Travel Air, effectively doubling the size of the company and moving the company into the sale of both new and pre-owned aircraft.In December 2005, Flight Options became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raytheon and introduced the Go-Forward Business Plan that rationalized the fleet, which is now one of the youngest fleets, as well as the most effective and efficient fleet in North America. Flight Options was acquired in November 2007 by H.I.G. Capital, LLC, a leading global private equity firm with more than $4 billion of equity capital under management. In March 2009 Directional Capital -- an investment firm led by Flight Options Chairman Kenn Ricci, and Resilience Capital Partners -- a leading private equity firm, and key members of the Flight Options management team made an additional investment in Flight Options. H.I.G. Capital also remains an investor.
