A date has been set for the sentencing of AeroVanti CEO Patrick Britton-Harr.

Judge Adam B. Abelson issued orders on Monday.

Britton-Harr was convicted on six counts of wire fraud.

Jurors found that he had taken $15 million from AeroVanti members designated to buy airplanes and used the funds to buy jewelry, pay for a rental program, buy a yacht, and more.

Top Gun members had paid AeroVanti to build a fleet of Piaggio P.180s.

A former executive of AeroVanti said the private jet membership company could owe $50 million to former customers, lessors, marketing partners, and trade vendors.

It was sued by both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Chicago Cubs.

Britton-Harr will learn his fate in a Baltimore courthouse on August 26, 2026, at 10 a.m.

He is facing a separate trial for medical testing fraud.

That trial is set to begin in October.

Britton-Harr had been trying to relaunch flights in the weeks leading up to his trial.

(Update on June 11, 2026) Britton-Harr is not in custody.
