Welcome to the Flyin H Ranch, a cherished family-owned oasis nestled in the heart of East Texas. For nearly three decades, Harlan and Sharon Ray, affectionately known as "H and Shay," have lovingly stewarded this picturesque land. Originally dedicated to cattle and hay production, this ranch has transformed into a multifaceted haven of hospitality and adventure.

In 1977, H and Shay united in marriage, hailing from Jacksonville, AR, and both embraced a life of service to their country. H soared the skies as a US Air Force Pilot, stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base, while Sharon contributed to the Arkansas Army National Guard, proudly serving on active duty throughout her career. Together, they embarked on incredible journeys, undertaking tours of duty in Southeast Asia, Europe, the Pentagon, and even Israel, where their daughter Lindsay was born.

Upon H's retirement from the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel, the Rays returned to H's East Texas roots. Here, he seamlessly transitioned into ranching, real estate investments, and enjoyed a 20-year career as a commercial aviation pilot, flying B-747s worldwide. H also took on the role of an instructor and check airman at the company training center in Miami, FL.
