Mark Rogers
“I LOVE INTRODUCING PEOPLE TO AVIATION AND THE FREEDOM AND LIFESTYLE BENEFITS THAT GO WITH IT.”
Mark Rogers founded Lone Mountain Aircraft (LMA) in 2008 with the belief that buying and selling aircraft should be turbulence-free. Today, LMA provides a complete range of aircraft sales and acquisition services, meeting the needs of individuals and companies across the U.S. and in Europe.
As a Cirrus pre-owned sales partner, Lone Mountain is the largest reseller of Cirrus Aircraft and has expanded into several other popular general aviation aircraft including Embraer, Pilatus, Cessna Citation, TBM, and Piper Meridian.
Mark has been involved in over 2,000 aircraft transactions and has spent over 5,000 hours in the cockpit. In addition to Lone Mountain Aircraft, Mark has founded a handful of other aviation companies including AvCap Financial, Lone Mountain Aircraft Maintenance, Lone Mountain Jet Management, and Lone Mountain Flight Training.
When he’s not in the office or flying for work, Mark spends time at home in Dayton, OH.

Brian’s passion for aviation began as a young child when he sat in the cockpit of the F-4 his uncle flew in the U.S. Air Force. From that moment on, he knew he wanted to be a pilot!
He joined the Lone Mountain team in 2022, bringing with him over 20 years of industry experience and over 6500 flight hours in 45+ types of aircraft. Brian is an alum of Kansas State University’s professional pilot program and holds a Master’s in Aviation Management and Operations from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Brian lives in Wichita, Kansas with his wife Christy and their three children. They enjoy traveling and experiencing new things together as a family.
Email Ed
Director of Maintenance
Ed Fry
Ed has been fascinated with aviation since he was a small boy building model airplanes in his basement. He grew up surrounded by aviation as his father was a pilot flying fixed wing and rotorcraft as well as several close friends and one of his sons.
Always wanting to be an airline pilot, after graduating college in 1977 the job market just did not cooperate. However, in 2017 his dream was found and he spent 2-years as a line pilot for American Airlines.
Lucky to have flown airplanes from a Piper Cub to a CRJ-900 and 45+ other types, Ed has almost 6,000 hours of flight experience.
Over the years, Ed honed his skills as President and owner of several construction-related businesses.
Bringing with him over 30 years of business ownership, management and mechanical expertise Ed became involved with Lone Mountain in 2012 as a Cirrus pilot relocating airplanes, and later on the ground floor of Lone Mountain Jet Management.
Ed manages the maintenance of several private jets from Citations to Gulfstreams as well as assisting in the hiring of pilots to work for jets managed by LMJM.
Ed and his wife Cathy have three children and recently relocated to Cincinnati to help babysit for a new granddaughter. When he is not doing that, he enjoys snow skiing and playing guitar.
Email Megan
Operations Manager
Megan Gooch
"I love building relationships with our clients and taking the burden of management off their shoulders so they can simply enjoy their aircraft."
Megan has aviation in her blood – one grandfather served as a WWII aircraft mechanic and glider pilot and another designed turbine engines for GE. She joined LMA in 2017 and has worn many hats since, always willing to jump in wherever there is a need. She is a problem solver who is always up for a challenge, which makes her a great asset to the Lone Mountain team.
Today, Megan manages the day-to-day operations of Lone Mountain Jet Management. She ensures that our clients benefit from all available services, including accounting oversight, crew member employment, aircraft scheduling, and negotiating maintenance, fuel, and more.
Megan and her husband, Seth, live on a small farm in Lebanon, Ohio with their many animals. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, working in her cut flower garden, and learning about astrophotography.

“I love serving the aviation community and helping people connect with one another.”

Andrew lives in the Cincinnati, OH area with his wife and three young children.
