My Journey into Aviation

My name is Luite "LT" Berkenbosch. I’m a private pilot,  an entrepreneur, and someone who sees flying as more than a hobby, but as a practical way to explore, travel, and learn. After building businesses such as 123 Car Rental and Sinne Valuations, I started 123 Aviation to combine aviation, entrepreneurship, and personal freedom.


From Bonaire in the Caribbean Netherlands, I fly a Sling High Wing (N1230L) on real-world journeys — from weekend escapes to business trips across the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States. This website supports the 123 Aviation YouTube channel, where I document my learning curve, decision-making, and flying adventures as I grow as a pilot. 


123 Aviation is not about perfection or hours logged. It’s about learning, exploring, and using general aviation as a practical tool for travel, business, and adventure in the Caribbean and beyond.
