About Maverick

Built by Aviation Enthusiasts, for Aircraft Owners

Maverick Aircraft Services was founded on a simple belief: owner-operated aircraft deserve the same level of care, organization, and attention that professional flight departments take for granted.

Our Story

Founded by Matthew Pursell

Maverick Aircraft Services was founded by Matthew Pursell, an Arkansas native with a passion for craftsmanship, mechanical excellence, and aviation.

Matthew began his professional journey in South Florida, working aboard yachts as a deckhand and junior engineer. During that time, he developed a keen eye for detail, refined his detailing skills, and strengthened his mechanical aptitude while caring for complex, high-value vessels.

After meeting his wife, Matthew returned to Arkansas to be closer to family. They were drawn to Northwest Arkansas by its energy, strong sense of community, and exciting future.

While currently pursuing his pilot's license, Matthew developed a deep appreciation for the beauty, capability, and engineering of aircraft. He also recognized the importance of dependable, detail-oriented support for aircraft owners. That vision became Maverick Aircraft Services.

Focused on owner-operated aircraft, Maverick Aircraft Services provides attentive, personalized care through aircraft detailing, maintenance tracking, logbook organization, and other ownership-support services. We understand that an aircraft is more than a machine — it is a valuable asset, a significant responsibility, and often the fulfillment of a lifelong passion.

Your aircraft is an asset. Our mission is to be one to you.

What Drives Us

Our Core Values

Owner-First Mindset

Every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this make life easier and safer for the aircraft owner?

Precision & Accountability

Aviation has no tolerance for sloppy record-keeping or missed deadlines. We hold ourselves to the same standard as the aircraft we manage.

Transparency

You always know what we're doing, when we're doing it, and why. No surprises, no hidden fees, no guesswork.

Genuine Care

We treat every aircraft like it's our own — because we know what it means to you and what it costs to own one.
