FAIRFAX, MINN. – With nine locations in Tennessee and Mississippi, Dr. Ron Bingham, 57, has an interesting business model requiring aircraft from his hangar in Jackson, Tenn., to visit his satellite clinics in rural areas.
“We typically have two small planes and a Citation jet,” says Bingham, a physician specializing in neurological testing (electromyography or EMG). Bingham Nerve & Muscle specializes in state-of-the-art nerve and muscle testing. Their clinics have become the standard for accurate and comprehensive evaluations of the peripheral nervous system – the “electrical system” of the body.
Dr. Bingham’s hangar has a 70 by 16-ft Schweiss Doors hydraulic door, equipped with remote openers. He keeps a CJ1 and a Cirrus SR22 in the 90-foot by 70-foot newly constructed hangar, built by S & G Stephens Construction of Paris, Tenn. The hangar is located at McKeller-Sipes Regional Airport in Jackson.
“I chose a hydraulic door because I wanted maximum clearance to accommodate as many Citation models as we could,” Bingham says. “This door will accommodate a CJ3.”
Bingham says he learned about Schweiss Doors in a magazine years ago. He didn’t consider any other door manufacturer.
Bingham is a father of four, living in Jackson. An avid aviation enthusiast, he has owned more than 20 different airplanes since learning to fly in 1989. He is a private pilot with IFR and ME privileges. Bingham is type-rated in the Citation 500 series and holds a Citation 525S rating. His love of flying evolved from travels he took with his dad, who was in the Peace Corps.
