Our Fleet
At Judah 1, we steward aircraft — owned and leased — so the right tool shows up for the mission.
From short hops to remote strips to moving an entire team in comfort,
our fleet is built around one question:
“What best serves this mission and these people?”
We match aircraft capabilities to real-world needs: patients, missionaries, supplies, and schedules.
Always Mission-First
Sometimes that means speed. Sometimes it means big doors. Sometimes it means “yes, we can bring the whole team.”
Aircraft Owned and Leased
We operate a mix of aircraft we own and aircraft we lease. Why? Because ministry doesn’t come in one standard size—and neither do runways.
Story Behind the Mission
Every mission has a story. Our aircraft tell that story. Judah 1 helps provides the resources and assistance to those with the greatest need.
Cessna 414
“Fast and Efficient. Gets the job done without making a big fuss.”
- Best for: quick-turn trips, medical personnel, time-sensitive missions
- Personality: the “we can be there by lunch” aircraft
When the mission calls for speed and range without going full airliner, the 414 shines. It’s a great fit for mission support, ministry travel, and special flights where timing matters.

Piper Cherokee 6/300
“The pickup truck of the skies—minus the tailgate dents.”
- Best for: unimproved strips, flexible cargo/passenger needs
- Superpower: seats out → cargo in (quickly)
This is the “real-world mission aircraft.” Big rear doors, practical loading, and the versatility to carry people, supplies, or even a stretcher when needed.

MD-83
“When ‘the whole team’ isn’t just a figure of speech.”
- Best for: team deployments, major cargo moves, long-haul capability
- Vibe: first-class comfort with a purpose
The MD-83 lets us transport large groups and substantial cargo efficiently—ideal for deployments where coordination, capacity, and comfort all matter. Big mission? Big aircraft.
More InformationOne mission. Many tools.
As needs change, our fleet adapts—so missionaries, medical teams,
and relief workers can focus on serving, not on logistics.
