DARCY KAAPKE
MARKETING DIRECTOR AND AIRCRAFT SALES
Darcy joined Courtesy Aircraft Sales in July 2009 to provide sales, marketing, and customer service support.  She is responsible for selected civilian aircraft sales, aircraft background research, maintaining photographs, writing and updating specifications on aircraft for sale.  Her other duties include the design of sales and marketing material, as well as the company website and its maintenance.  Darcy also coordinates public relations, newsletters, press releases, direct mail campaigns, and company sponsored events.

 Darcy was first introduced to historic aircraft by her Grandfather, an accomplished Bristol Beaufighter pilot who served in World War II.  He and her uncle, also a professional pilot, have inspired her to pursue a life long dream in the aviation field.  Darcy started working in the aviation industry at the age of 16.  The choice further strengthened her love of aviation which led to earning a private pilot’s license before graduating high school and later an instrument rating.  The path continued to Lewis University where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation Administration in 2008.

Her background includes, most recently, extensive marketing research and sales.   Darcy has numerous years of General Aviation Airport Operations, including airport line service, ground service, administrative support and customer service.
