zen master. Mr. M & M – movies and music.

David A. Zimmerman brings over 36 years of comprehensive aviation expertise to his role as the Vice President of AOG and New Aircraft Acquisition Maintenance at Revv Aviation. His journey in aviation began in 1988 when he earned his Private Pilot Certificate and commenced Aircraft Maintenance courses at Iowa Western Community College. His career trajectory led him through various maintenance roles, starting with Great Lakes Airlines in Spencer, Iowa, and later Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he specialized in inspecting and repairing corporate aircraft such as Falcons, Lears, Citations, Hawkers, and IAI.


In 1996, David transitioned to Jetsun Aviation in Sioux City, Iowa, where he excelled as the Turbine Aircraft Lead Mechanic, fostering valuable relationships within the aviation community. Notably, his exceptional work caught the attention of Gateway 2000 Computers, leading to his appointment as their corporate aircraft mechanic in 1999.


Despite Gateway’s relocation to San Diego, David chose to remain in Sioux City and joined Jet Linx Aviation in Omaha, Nebraska, further expanding his maintenance expertise to include aircraft like the MU 300/Beechjet 400, Lear 45, and Hawker 800. Concurrently, he pursued additional pilot qualifications, obtaining Instrument, Commercial Pilot, and Instructor Pilot licenses. His commitment to aviation extended to his involvement with the Nebraska Civil Air Patrol, where he actively participates in search and rescue operations and cadet orientation and flight training.


In July 2017, David assumed the role of General Manager at Hawthorne Global Aviation Services in Sioux City, where he continued to cultivate relationships within the aviation industry. His proactive approach led to a fruitful collaboration with Revv Aviation, resulting in the establishment of a full-time flight training school in Sioux City after nearly 30 years. Recognized for his leadership and expertise, David enthusiastically accepted an offer to join the Revv team, where he now oversees AOG operations and new aircraft acquisition maintenance.


David’s extensive experience, coupled with his dedication to advancing aviation education and services, makes him a valuable asset to Revv Aviation as it continues to innovate and expand its footprint in the industry.
