OUR STORY.
Our aviation story goes way back, long before we were even born. Both our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were pilots of some sort. Our father, Mike Stevens, was the epitome of an aviator. He was rated in Learjets, Citations, and could fly basically any turboprop, with one of his favorites being the Conquest. He was also an aircraft dealer and started Plane Fax, our aircraft advertising business, in 1989. Growing up, we always admired our dad’s passion for aviation and loved being his co-pilots on family trips. Aviation was in our blood, evident from a young age as we’d often fight over who got to ride right seat with Dad.
In September 2019, our father passed away unexpectedly. We inherited his business, Plane Fax, a leading online advertising platform serving aircraft dealers worldwide. Losing our dad and running Plane Fax was overwhelming, but it proved to be an opportunity to develop a vision for the future. This vision led us to launch Hangar Sisters in 2021, continuing our family legacy in aviation. Our company leases hangar space to aircraft owners and oversees aircraft management at our KLGB hangar. Following in our father’s footsteps, we are also expanding into aircraft sales, bringing our expertise and dedication to a broader range of aviation services.

She is an instrument-rated commercial pilot currently training to become a Certified Flight Instructor. Within Hangar Sisters, Lauren wears many hats: she coordinates aircraft management and sales, oversees operational management, and drives project growth and development. When Lauren isn't at the hangar, you can find her spending quality time with her family, on snowboarding trips, or flying over the beach during sunset.

At Hangar Sisters, Cat plays a pivotal role, overseeing aircraft management, coordinating sales, managing operations, and leading marketing initiatives.
