Jeffrey Epstein paid for Ghislaine Maxwell pilot’s license so she could ferry girls

Jeffrey Epstein paid for his closest aide Ghislaine Maxwell pilot’s license and then bought her a $4 million executive helicopter to ferry young girls to his private Island, DailyMail.com can reveal.

The pedophile splashed out on the top of the range Sikorsky S-76C – nicknamed Air Ghislaine 2 – so she could transport a tranche of girls to Little St James in the US Virgin Islands.

And these photos, obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, show the interior of the luxury twin turboshaft chopper that transported guests to the now infamous island.

Epstein and his guests will have traveled in style sat on plush brown leather seats aboard the spacious aircraft.

The plush cabin also boated mahogany trim and storage compartments, recessed lighting, an iPhone dock and sleek tinted windows. 

Pilot Maxwell – who has been accused of acting as Epstein’s Madam, grooming underage girls for her boss – would pick up the billionaire’s visitors from Cyril E. King Airport in Charlotte Amalie on St Thomas Island and transport them directly to the 70-acre Epstein property.

The private island – which Epstein nicknamed ‘Little St Jeff’s’ but which locals have dubbed ‘Pedophile Island’ – sits off the coast of St Thomas and includes a villa-style compound, library, cinema, detached bathhouse, a temple and cabanas.

Epstein flew underage girls there as recently as this year, according to a report in Vanity Fair.

And following the money manager’s arrest on two charges of child sex trafficking earlier this month the disgraced mogul’s fleet of luxury aircraft has once again come under the microscope.

Prosecutors have accused the 66-year-old billionaire of abusing girls as young as 14 in a ‘vast network of underage victims’ – and his fleet – which includes two private jets – has always been considered either a venue for some of the abuse or a means of secretly trafficking the underage girls.

According to FAA records Epstein’s former long term girlfriend and closest aide Maxwell received her pilot’s license to fly helicopters in 2007 – the same year Epstein struck a sweetheart non-prosecution deal with the Florida DA.

Despite serving some time in prison Epstein bought Maxwell a brand new $4 million Sikorsky S-76C in 2008.

The helicopter, tail number N722JE, was registered to his Delaware business Freedom Air International, which lists the same address as another company Air Ghislaine, Inc

It’s now understood that Epstein continued his criminal activity almost immediately after being released from prison and will have made use of the chopper to fulfill his sordid fantasies.

Maxwell, daughter of late publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell, has denied accusations made in civil suits of aiding and participating in Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors despite being implicated by several of his alleged victims.

But the 57-year-old British socialite has been among the financier’s closest associates for almost three decades.

According to a report last week in Vanity Fair locals on St Thomas said Epstein had been transporting underage girls to his island by helicopter for years, some as recently as this year.

This a decade after he was forced to register as a convicted sex offender.

Two employees who worked at the local airstrip on St Thomas told Vanity Fair that they witnessed Epstein boarding his private plane on many occasions in the company of girls who appeared to be under the age of consent.

Records show that Epstein also had another helicopter, a Bell Jet Ranger, which Maxwell flew at his sprawling Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. The blue and white chopper (pictured) has the tail number N491GM - GM standing for Ghislaine Maxwell - and was nicknamed Air Ghislaine 1

According to the staff, the girls arrived with Epstein aboard one of his two Gulfstream jets before boarding a helicopter.

‘On multiple occasions I saw Epstein exit his helicopter, stand on the tarmac in full view of my tower, and board his private jet with children – female children,’ a former air traffic controller at the airstrip told the magazine.

FAA registration records show the S-76 was eventually sold to another company called ASI Wings, LLC.

Epstein replaced it with a more modern Bell 430 executive chopper which Maxwell is understood to also have flown and was also piloted by Epstein’s personal pilot Larry Visoski.

The sleek jet black helicopter, tail number N331JE, is a four-bladed, twin-engined, nine-seat aircraft marketed as a high-speed corporate chopper capable of speeds up to 257km/h.

Seen here in more exclusive photos the Bell 430s are sold for around $6 million.

On August 11 last year Visoski posted a photo of the Bell 430 alongside Epstein’s Gulfstream IV private jet, with the tag: ‘How we Roll, Black on Black, #Bell430, #Gulfstream, #Avgeek, #aviation #flying #GIV #430 #IslandLife, #MAGA #����’

Epstein’s Chief pilot Visoski runs Epstein’s fleet of private jets and helicopters and has flown the hedge fund mogul around the world for 20 years.

Notably Visoski flew Epstein’s larger 727 jet – the infamous Lolita Express – which carried prominent passengers including President Bill Clinton, British royal Prince Andrew as well as Hollywood stars Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker and supermodel Naomi Campbell.

And the 59-year-old veteran pilot – nicknamed Capt Big Dawg on his Instagram page – liked to show off his billionaire boss’ expensive toys on social media – that is until a DailyMail.com exposé led to him quickly removing his personal profile.
