The staff of AIC Title Service welcomes the opportunity to provide you with our brand of aircraft title and escrow service: Excellence With A Smile.

Clay Healey Owner	Clay purchased AIC Title Service in January of 2003, drawn to it because of a love of aviation that began when he was five years old, flying between his father's knees in the family's Cessna. Clay is both a pilot and an aircraft owner. As an aircraft owner, Clay knows the issues that arise when buying or selling an aircraft. As a business owner, Clay understands the need for timely and professional service. Indeed, Clay feels that the professionalism of his staff is a reflection of his strong commitment to his clients and friends. Clay's personal goals are no secret to anyone that knows him. Each day he strives to be better than the last. Each day he strives to help someone achieve that goal for themselves. Each day he chooses a positive attitude and happiness and hopes that every client interaction with AIC will be a positive one that brings on a smile. In addition to flying, Clay's interests are scuba diving, snow and water skiing, fishing and hunting.
