After flying in the Air Force for 38 years, Jay Rosser, a homeowner at The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm, is ready to take on his next mission. Except this time instead of flying high and fast, Jay will be flying low and slow in his “Sky-Radar” airplane that he is building himself.
After the Air Force, Jay continued flying for several airline companies, eventually ending at Northwest Airlines before retiring in 2005. He had always known that one day he would enjoy building and flying his own plane and with his newly acquired spare time, he finally had the chance.
He first started building the light sport aircraft in March of 2010 and will hopefully be celebrating its inaugural flight by the end of this year. The single-seat aircraft, similar to the Alaskan bush plane, is 30 feet long and has a wingspan of 15 feet. Jay is currently in the process of covering the whole plane with a specific type of aviation fabric and paint.
In November of 2007, Jay and his wife, Bonnie, decided to cross off another item on their to-do list by downscaling and moving into a smaller yet quality home. After looking for the perfect home and community, The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm caught their eye. The Rosser’s were among the first to purchase an Orchards Group home in our Cumming, Georgia community.
“The Orchards Group responded to our every need,” says Jay. “After handpicking our own floorplan and custom features, we were able to watch the whole building process from start to finish.”
When asked what the couple’s favorite aspect of the community is, Bonnie replied “the social aspect most definitely! There’s always something to do here at Brannon Oak Farm.”
Brannon Oak Farm has 15 Low Maintenance Active Adult style floorplans to choose from that offer two to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half baths. Located just one-and-a-half miles from GA-400, homes are priced from the high $250,000s.

So the next time you’re up in Cumming and happen to see a small airplane weaving throughout the clouds, wave – it could be Jay peering back down at you.
