About
Lawrence Paul 'Larry' Visoski Jr. (born c. 1951) is an American pilot and aviator best known for his nearly three-decade tenure as the chief pilot for financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, distinct from David Rodgers. From 1991 to 2019, Visoski captained Epstein's private fleet, including the Boeing 727 nicknamed the 'Lolita Express,' logging over 1,000 flights carrying numerous high-profile passengers such as Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Kevin Spacey to Epstein's properties in New Mexico, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. During this period, he observed several underage girls aboard the planes, whom he described in testimony as appearing like 'mature women' or 'young,' and identified key accusers including Virginia Giuffre and 'Jane' as passengers. Despite his proximity to Epstein's operations, Visoski testified that he never witnessed sexual activity on the aircraft, as the cockpit door remained closed during flights. He was noted for his discretion and became a key figure in documenting Epstein's travel network, positioning him as an inadvertent archivist of the financier's associations with influential figures. Visoski testified as the first witness for the prosecution in the November 2021 federal sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate, providing details on flights and passengers. His professional relationship with Epstein extended to personal connections, including Epstein gifting him 40 acres of land at Zorro Ranch in New Mexico to build a home, paying the college tuition for Visoski's daughters, and hosting the 2017 wedding of his daughter Taylor at the ranch. Post-Epstein, Visoski has maintained a low public profile, with his career focused on elite private jet operations. No legal actions or convictions against him have been reported.
