20 Under 40 Class of 2025: Bijan Maleki

I’m a professional pilot with a deep-rooted passion for both experimental and vintage military aviation. I’ve flown everything from WWII-era trainers like the T-6 to classic bombers and high-performance fighters—and even raced at the Reno Air Races. Whether it’s airshows, reenactments, or just flying for the love of it, I’m committed to keeping these incredible machines alive and in the air.

Alongside flying, I manage a corporate flight department with a fleet of eight aircraft and a team of 17, and I run a flight school dedicated to training the next generation of aviators. With a background in aerospace engineering and hands-on maintenance experience, I bring both technical knowledge and respect for the craftsmanship behind these aircraft.

What really drives me is building strong teams with the skills and passion to keep warbirds flying—and sharing them with enthusiasts and newcomers alike. These airplanes carry history in their wings, and helping others experience and understand their significance is just as important to me as flying them.

Outside the hangar, I’m lucky to share life with my wife Miranda—also a talented pilot—and our two dogs, Whitney and Reno. Whether we’re flying, building, wrenching, or just chasing tennis balls, aviation is a central part of our lives.
