Sky Limo on National Business Aviation Association for Toys for Tots Campaign

NBAA reported this week that Sky Limo collected over $5,000 in Toys for Tots donations for needy children in South Florida and “flew” the toys on Saturday, December 10 and Sunday, December 11 in a Sabre 60 business jet. High-speed cruise for both flights was estimated at two to three knots.

“We ‘flew’ the airplane in two big holiday water parades here in South Florida,” said Damian Lopez, Sky Limo Director of Business Development. “Our Sabre 60 jet was mounted on a barge on the Intracoastal Waterway for participation in both the Seminole Hardrock Winterfest Boat Parade and the Pompano Boat Parade.” The company arrayed thousands of unwrapped toys beneath the airplane during the parades, much to the delight of more than one million children and adults watching live and on TV broadcasts.

Sky Limo, an air charter company based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, has contributed to numerous local charities in south Florida since its founding in 1998, and this year’s Toys for Tots effort will help cheer more than 100,000 underprivileged children in south Florida. The mission of Toys for Tots is to provide hope for less fortunate children and encourage them to become responsible, productive and patriotic citizens.

“We’re always looking to further immerse ourselves in the community,’” said Sky Limo owner Tom Conlan, “and this was a unique opportunity to do just that.”

Sky Limo Rides the Intracoastal in the Winterfest Boat Parade 2010

Full-service aviation company, Sky Limo Air Charter, collects more than 500 toys for Toys for Tots Campaign




After months of preparation, Sky Limo made its mark during this year’s Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade. The float, which was the brainchild of Sky Limo’s Tom Conlan, featured a 48-foot long, 8-passenger, twin-engine Sabre 60 jet aircraft that was mounted onto a barge. The Frank Sinatra inspired “Fly Me to the Moon” theme was complete with a lunar moon backdrop, dancing flight attendants, black-tie businessmen and a Frank Sinatra impersonator with a deejay playing his music.

“Taking part in this year’s Winterfest Boat Parade was an easy decision,” Conlan said. “We wanted to do something that [to our knowledge] has never been done before, while at the same time encouraging a family atmosphere amongst our employees. This was a project everyone here could have some fun with, as well as be able to celebrate the holiday season while doing something special for the community.”

Being involved in charity, and the community in general, is important to Sky Limo, which is why the company decided to launch a cooperative effort with the United States Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” campaign. With their Winterfest entry this year, Sky Limo mounted the aircraft a few feet up in the air, leaving an open area directly beneath the aircraft. Sky Limo, its employees and members of the community donated thousands of dollars worth of unwrapped toys, including bicycles, for “Toys for Tots.”



The mission of the Sky Limo Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys, and distribute those toys as gifts to needy children in the community. The primary goal is to deliver a message of hope to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
“Sky Limo is a company that is always looking to further immerse itself in the community where its employees work and live,” said Conlan. “And we strongly feel that this was a unique opportunity to do exactly that.”
