| December 17, 2007 Mark, All was great, Terry Rush and I went for a type ride in Texas in the MkIX Spitfire. Once again an aircraft purchased through you was axactly as represented. This is the third aircraft I have purchased through you and I have never been disappointed. I believe no one has the knowledge or experience of the warbird market that you have. I know that you always have all the facts and avoid puffing. You ahve made this a fun and painless experience as usual. You and your staff are the best. Regards, Tom Duffy |
|
| April 12, 2007 Mark, I appreciate the effort you put into selling the old bird. I would not think of buying or selling an aircraft without using the services of Courtesy Aircraft. I have now bought two and sold one through you and I have been extremely pleased. Your reputation in the industry is well deserved. Thanks again, Bob Resling, Denver, CO |

| March 2007 Dear Mark and everyone at Courtesy Aircraft, I wanted to write and thank you for assisting me in the sale of my T-6. I listed the aircraft with Mark on a Thursday and I was pleasantly shocked when he had a buyer and a deposit my Monday afternoon! The process of getting the aircraft to Rockford along with the pre-purchase inspection, attending to some minor maintenance and the documentation for closing was as seamless and painless as I have ever experienced. If only selling my Pitts on my own had been so easy! When I'm ready for the next Warbird, Courtesy will be my first call. Best Regards, Brett Zachary, CEO Sanco Industries, Inc. |

| December 7, 2006 I have had the pleasure of purchasing two aircraft through Courtesy Aircraft. Mark Clark and his staff have been nothing short of extremely professional. I purchased a Corsair, "Marine's Dream" through mark and the aircraft was exactly as represented by Mark. I recently purchased a B-25 through Mark and likewise the aircraft was exactly as represented. I've had many discussions with Mark and he's extremely knowledgeable on virtually every warbird on the market and has always provided me with up-to-date and accurate information. No one is more qualified. I hope to continue to purchasing warbirds and will always call Mark first before venturing into the warbird market. Tom Duffy |

| November 2006 Hello, Good luck to you. |
|
| November 30, 2006 Hello Mark, I wanted to thank you for making the purchase of my Beech E-55 such an easy and enjoyable experience. I especially appreciate you taking care of the negotiations for me as I do not do well at that sort of thing and always felt in good hands throughout the process. I don't think that the excitement of owning an airplane has actually sunk in yet! Thank
you again, |

| November 9, 2006 Mark, I still enjoy seeing the listings on your website. The last brochure I received from you all had my beautiful P51 on the cover, and yes it was me flying SU SU. What a beautiful P51. Thanks for the kind words on your website saluting veterans this Veterans Day Weekend. I have been on active duty recall to the Navy since April and I have just been extended for another year. At the present time I am not assigned in Iraq. I am working for a Rear Admiral in Jacksonville, FL on his staff as Region Air Operations for what is known as Navy Region Southeast. Our region encompasses all Navy Installations from Florida to Texas - up to North Carolina. The Airfields I work with number: 12 primary and 19 outer lying fields (OLF's). I am very proud to be in this position as a Navy Officer, especially when times are tough for our Country. I dream of the day I may get my SU SU back, but I am very thankful to have the keys to a friend's Texan to fly! Take care and have a safe holiday. Your Friend, Alan |

Mark, Owning and flying a Mustang has been a life long dream. My father crewed P-51's in Korea and with the Kentucky Air National Guard. Some of my earliest memories are of him and this airplane. You have made this dream a reality. Your expertise and advice have proven invaluable. The folks you network with such as Wally Zook in financing and Tony Rukavina in insurance were great to deal with. This entire transaction has been a delightful experience. I will certainly recommend Courtesy Aircraft to anyone interested in joining the Warbird community, and plan to use you again if and when I am fortunate enough to acquire my next dream ... a North American F-86! Many thanks! Joe Richardson, MD |
 November 8, 2005Hi Mark, Many thanks or the professional way you handled the sale of the
TBM for me. By now Larry Ricker (pilot shown here ready to deliver TBM) should be in
Oakland. Thanks again to you and your crew! |
|
| October 31, 2005 Just a little note to let you know that Mark P. and the T-34 arrived in great shape on Sunday afternoon. Thanks for all of the help - really appreciate it. You did a great job representing the aircraft (and Courtesy), and helping juggle everything so that we could get it inspected, pre-inspected, annualed, paid for and delivered. Thanks again - it was a pleasure doing business with you!!! |

August 24, 2005 Mark, I hope this email finds you doing well. I just completed my
first 100 hours in my T6-G, purchased through you in April. This plane is about the best
thing I have ever bought and I enjoy it tremendously. I completed the wing AD without
problems or findings and was one of the first 10 planes back up in the air. The annual
went eventless and the plane is performing well. I modified it with a high roll rate kit,
which I highly recommend. For those worried about fuel cost, I have been able to fly the
plane averaging 24 Gal per hour, with the average flight being 1 hour - well that still
puts 2,400 Gal through the tank, but it is just too much fun! |
|
| April 7, 2005 Mark, I just wanted to drop you a quick note that we landed safely last night at 6:00pm at LVK. The plane performed flawlessly and consumed only 27gal of fuel per hour. Total flight time was 14.0 hours for the 2,000 miles. After we left Rockford we flew to Grand Island, NE for our first night stop. Unfortunately we got stranded there for the next day as severe thunderstorms and hail came down from the Rocky's. However, we got out of there on Wednesday morning and just flew home via Laramie, Salt Lake, Reno into Livermore. It was a long tour but we had great weather. Today we have rain and a low ceiling, I am glad we got here yesterday. Thanks again for all your help. BTW, we only used 1.5 Gal of oil! Best regards, |
|
| April 7, 2005 Dear Mark, It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Your warmth and professionalism in helping with the purchase of my SNJ-4 has been exceptional. You head up a first class operation. Best personal regards, |

16, 2005 Buying an airplane is always an important move, and buying an "exotic" aircraft can up the stress level a lot. When I bought my Focke-Wulf 149D from Courtesy Aircraft, I found out that they took their name seriously. John Kraman and the entire staff could not have been more patient, courteous and most importantly, knowledgeable. They took all the time I needed, directed me to the appropriate shops for the work that I wanted done, provided all the documents that make owning this aircraft as stress free as if I was buying a conventional flying machine. I was never pressured and I had that warm and fuzzy feeling that one gets when you know this important transaction is being handled by people who know their business and make sure that you know all the pertinent information to make flying a pleasure. I have owned seven aircraft, purchased from seven different sources, but this time, it was a delight. Alan Lapidus |

Saturday, January 29, 2005 It's one of the nicest Stearman I have seen, a real cracker ! We hope to assemble next week. Best regards, |
|
Saturday, January 29, 2005 Just to let you know that the
Stearman arrived safely @ Old Buckenham Airfield on Thursday, and was unpacked as
carefully as it was packed up. Very many thanks for all the care you took. I
saw it in the hanger today, & it looks pristine. Hopefully it will be
re-assembled later next week.Many thanks for all the time & effort expended on this. |

12, 2004 Dear Mark, "The BT-13 was the first airplane that I have bought from Courtesy Aircraft and I can not tell you how pleased I was dealing with your Company. The price was fair and the deal uncomplicated. I know that I was on the low end of your market but I could not have received better service if I had been buying a P-51. The fact that you cleared a lien that had been out there since 1952 spoke volumes to me and you did it without me having to beg. When I buy again, I’I'll buy from Courtesy Aircraft Sales!” Regards, |
|
| August 11, 2004 Hello Sir, Thanks for your help during our purchase. The flight
home was uneventful and I sure appreciate Mark's assistance and the fact that you sent him
along with me. It was invaluable. With warmest regards, |

August 9, 2004 Hi Mark, Finally back home in Switzerland. I wanted to thank you for the good and professional T-28 training I received from you guys. Thanks a lot. Michael Weber |

| March 8, 2004 Just writing to tell you thank-you for all your service and support while my mechanic checked over the 210D last week. He arrived, unscathed, back home with the airplane yesterday. I'll finally get to see the plane for myself this coming weekend as my work is keeping me from getting out to the airport earlier. It was a pleasure dealing with you. Aside from the few nits, the plane was pretty much as you advertised. We appreciate your honesty and willingness to negotiate. I think we both got a fair deal. Courtesy will be recommended by me, often. Thanks again, |

A Dream Come True ... |

Now a Courtesy Aircraft Customer, Brian, shown here in 10th Grade with a Corsair in Spokane, WA dreaming that one day he'd own one of these birds.

Thanks Courtesy Aircraft for Your
Help! |
Malvern J. Gross, Jr. Dear Sir, I just wanted to take this opportunity to again thank you for all the help and counsel you gave in connection with the sale of my "mistress." Your words of patience at strategic moments resulted in my getting a much fairer price for the plane than I would have if I had been my own broker. Your hand-holding was most appreciated, and helped me through this "life-event." It is hard to accept that one is no longer 19 any more. Best personal regards,
|

October 16, 2003 Mark, Home safe and sound with a very fine Duke thanks in large part to your fine
organization and great salesman, John Kraman. It was extremely nice getting to finally
meet you and see Courtesy Aircraft, of which I had heard so much through the years. |
| September 18, 2003 Gentlemen, Thank you for the deal and all your support. It was and is fun to work with you. Here are some pictures from our Air show last weekend. The SNJ came right on time! Kind regards,

June 23, 2003 Dear Sir, I am very pleased to tell you that the N623TC arrived in Germany last week. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the support and help you provided in making this deal happen. It was a great pleasure working with you. The aircraft received all the desired avionics and now is in an immaculate condition. We are looking forward to seeing you again. Kind regards and all the best for you and your family!

Mark, June 6, 2003 Thank you so much for the AWESOME ride! I've been telling everyone about my T-6 adventure. It sure made my flight instructor jealous. Did you get to see the story? I think it turned out really well. Let me know if there's anything I can ever help you with.
Thanks Again! |
