Film Music Composer Wayne Sharpe has composed a piece of music for Paramount Business Jets’ Web site.
Paramount CEO Richard Zaher says the addition of Sharp’s talent further enhances one of most inclusive Web sites in the executive jet charter industry.
“Wayne is an amazingly talented Composer and Musician,” Zaher said.
Sharpe’s music has been featured internationally in a number of television programs and movies, including Japan’s “Pokémon” and “Yugioh,” and “Firedancer,” Afghanistan’s first movie to be nominated for an Academy Award.
Sharpe also partnered with Paramount to provide entertainment for its Seven Wonders of the World mega-tour first offered in January.

Paramount Business Jets is pleased to announce the winners of the 2009 Aviation Writing Contest. The 9 Contestants in the competition were chosen based on their high levels writing talent and knowledge of – or interest in – the aviation industry. In addition to the interviews and excellent grades in school, the contestants have a proven record of successfully completing specific projects with Paramount.

This year, first place is awarded to Yusuke Ishikawa, of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for his submission, entitled “Marketing for the Private Jet Charter Industry in the US”. Ishikawa’s paper was determined to be the winning research paper by a panel of professors and instructors from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University who judged all the submissions.

In second place is Daniel Quigely, for his paper entitled “Private Jet Luxury Options: The Sky Is The Limit” and Jon Hatcher close behind in third place for his paper entitled “Dark Skies? Air Pollution and the Private Jet Industry”

The aim of this competition is to foster young peoples’ interest in the world of corporate and business aviation, encouraging their continued involvement in it and providing them with exposure to the aviation community.

Paramount Business Jets is holding its first Aviation Writing Contest. Paramount executives chose nine contestants to face off in the competition by writing five-to-seven page papers about some of the most important aspects of the aviation industry.
Eight of the nine contestants are Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students and the other is a recent graduate of Arizona State University. Paramount chose them to compete based on their high levels of writing talent and interest in the aviation industry.
“These are some of the most eligible future aviation employees,” Paramount Chief Executive Richard Zaher said. “Each will be an asset to any aviation company looking for fresh talent. I highly recommend them and wish them all the very best.”
Four ERAU professors have volunteered to judge the entries and will evaluate them based on Content, Logic, Structure and Grammar and Mechanics.
“These judges will bring a sense of credibility to the contest that we could not otherwise achieve,” Zaher said. “We are grateful that they have volunteered to guide this competition.”
Paramount announces the winners on their Web site, www.paramountbusinessjets.com, March 11. All entries will be posted on the Web site, as well.
