Program Specifics:

Mike Baehr , Regional Director – mbaehr@AirSharesElite.com

Mike Baehr has had an interest in aviation since he was young.  He acquired his private pilot’s license at age nineteen.  In 1983 he graduated from medical school at Ohio State University.  After three years of residency at Mt Carmel Medical Center in family medicine, Dr. Baehr opened a solo family medical practice in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.  Mike managed and expanded the office into a seven provider multi–million dollar practice.  He is currently the senior managing partner of Family Physician of Gahanna and the practice continues to grow and thrive under his management.

Mike also is an FAA Certified Senior Medical Examiner.  He serves as the company physician of the largest fractional ownership company in business jet aircraft. 

In 2002 Mike purchased his first Cirrus SR22 and has accumulated over 500 hours flying time.  He received his Instrument Rating prior to purchasing the Cirrus SR22 and spends at least 15% of his flight time in further training and proficiency.  Mike is very familiar with what is required to manage the needs and upkeep of Cirrus aircraft.

Mike became interested in extending the concept of AirShares ownership to general aviation four years ago; in order to succeed, he has put together an unprecedented team to ensure AirShares Elite Ohio’s success.  He plans on making AirShares Elite Ohio his second successful business.

While at OSU he competed in NIFA (National Intercollegiate Flying Association) and also coached the team while working as a flight instructor for Ohio State.
