Military aviation training and adversary air support provider
Tactical Air Support operates as a government contractor delivering F-5AT adversary training flights and tactical consulting to military and civilian customers. The hiring acceleration (28 roles in 30 days) skews heavily toward operations and mid-level talent, paired with active projects in weapons instructor certification and logistics network development—indicating scaling of training delivery capacity. Core pain points center on inventory management and documentation accuracy, common friction in aerospace contracting where parts accountability and compliance are mission-critical.
Founded in 2005 and based in Jacksonville, Florida, Tactical Air Support provides contract air services, military jet training, and tactical consulting to government and commercial customers. The company operates a fleet of F-5AT Advanced Tiger aircraft flown by instructors averaging over 3,000 hours of tactical fighter time, many of whom are former Weapons School Instructors or Test Pilots. Beyond flight operations, the company offers full life-cycle aircraft maintenance, UAV chase support, and close air support training. The tech stack is standard for aerospace operations—Microsoft 365, SAP, QuickBooks, SATCOM, and Unanet (a defense contractor ERP platform)—reflecting a government-heavy customer base with compliance and billing requirements. Current workforce spans 201–500 employees across operations, engineering, finance, and maintenance functions.
