About Us

It was not long ago that a friend and I decided to take that trip that so many of us talk about. A trip that so many of us have already taken and a trip that, hopefully, many more of us will take in the future.

That trip was in a small airplane, a Cessna 172, and the route of flight took us through the central and northwestern United States, western Canada and into the rugged and beautiful state of Alaska. It was a flight that began in Houston, Texas and ended, 35 flight hours later, in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Over the months leading up to the flight, I spent an enormous amount of time attempting to locate and purchase that aviation survival gear which was either required by law or I had deemed necessary to keep me safe in the event of an unfortunate incident. The task was daunting. I had to shop at multiple locations, paying numerous shipping fees, and still did not find everything I needed. It is because of my difficulty in locating quality aviation survival oriented equipment that I decided, upon my return, to start Best Glide Aviation Survival Equipment, Inc.

Our Mission

It is our mission at Best Glide Aviation Survival Equipment, Inc. to provide the aviation community with a comprehensive selection of quality aviation survival related equipment at a reasonable price and in a convenient and timely manner. 
We are rapidly and enthusiastically working toward this goal.

We at Best Glide A.S.E. will sell only the best quality Aviation Survival products. If it is not quality, you will not find it here. If we are not willing to trust our lives to a specific product, you will not find it here either. Subsequently, our products will often cost more then their lesser quality counterparts. But as the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” We do not settle for less than quality when it comes to our own safety and survival and refuse to ask you to do so either.

Best Glide Aviation Survival Equipment, Inc., www.bestglide.com and our newest edition, www.bcbsurvivalusa.com, are dedicated to aviation and personal survival equipment. We have no plans to diversify into other areas of aviation oriented sales such as pilot convenience products or aircraft maintenance items. This is our calling and this is where we feel we can make a difference.

You will find that many of our aviation and personal survival items are priced below, some well below, our fellow survival equipment retailers. This is because our main goal is not to make money, but to build something of which we can be proud. To do this, we must center on service….not product sales or profit margins. We very much desire to fill every possible Aviation Survival Equipment need a pilot or flight crew could ever face. Only then will we be happy with our performance.

Sincerely,

The Best Glide A.S.E. Team
