– Cirrus Vision Jet Sales Executive

Before beginning his aviation career, Don Medine built a diverse professional background spanning public service, tactical operations, and business leadership. He served for 18 years in Northern California law enforcement, holding roles as a Police Sergeant, Tactical Operator, K9 Officer, and Sniper. His career in public service was defined by high-risk operational leadership, disciplined decision-making, and mission-focused execution.

Following his law enforcement career, Don co-founded Tactical Command Industries, a company specializing in advanced tactical communications equipment for elite law enforcement and military units. The company was successfully acquired in 2013, providing Don the opportunity to pursue his lifelong passion for aviation full time.

Don earned his private pilot’s license in 2014 and has since logged thousands of flight hours, obtained multiple commercial and professional aviation ratings, and earned his SF50 Vision Jet type rating. Today, he is an experienced Vision Jet owner and professional captain with more than 1,700 hours of flight time in the SF50.

In addition to his operational experience, Don is a strong advocate for the Cirrus Vision Jet platform, emphasizing its safety, comfort, and advanced avionics. Through his YouTube channel, Don Av8’s, he shares real-world flight operations, maintenance insights, and volunteer mission flying. The channel has become a trusted educational resource for aspiring pilots, Vision Jet owners, and aviation enthusiasts, reflecting Don’s commitment to mentorship, safety, and giving back to the aviation community.
