Mark/Kathi,
Just to say we have loads of fun with the UH, and it’s a stunning machine. Its new registration is now V5-HUE!

We are busy to install the hoist and Medivac litter kit and it seems that we will need bits and piece like the 3X stretchers with attachement etc. We will try to sort out what we have and we will really appreciate it if we can submit the detail of missing items to complete these installation that you can either see if you can source it or put us in contact with the right supplier in this regard.  All the best for the new year,..and we looking forward receiving the Hughes 500 too! -Rainier Arangies




Congratulations to Addison- New Owner of a Grumman Goose Project!
"
The Goose transaction went very smooth with your help and expertise.  The airplane was everything we had hoped for in terms of a structurally sound Grumman G21A Goose project for me and my family.  I was very pleased with the negotiation process and the fairness on the part of the Palm Springs Air Museum and yourself.  Your reputation as a straight shooter rings true.  Now we get busy and start to breath new life into this treasure over the next few years." - Addison Pemberton

Family History Honored on Customer's New Warbird

.

"If you noticed the names below the forward canopy widow, they are my Uncle, Al Kinder, my Dad's younger Brother, who
flew B-17's during WWII over Europe after his pilot training was finished and my Dad who was an instructor during the war.
My Dad, eventually went on to fly for Eastern Airlines during the war. Both lived into their 80's. 
I felt an emotional obligation to put their names on my aircraft to honor them as aviators and to honor their lives. 
Both were strong influences on my and my brother's lives and aviation careers."
Congratulations Lou! N3753G Looks Great!

NATA T-28 Formation Clinic
Sponsored by Courtesy Aircraft

.

Hi Mark, Just a quick note to say "Thank-you" again for your help in sponsoring the NATA T-28 Formation Clinic in Conord, NC. The weather was wonderful, everyone flew a lot and had a great time! Thanks again for your help!
-Anggie Mitchard


Mark, Just a brief update. I just flew my 50th hour in the Bearcat last night.  The plane is doing well. Attached are some pictures. The plane is an amazing performer and the Mustang folks do not enjoy taking off with me. Give your staff my regards and tell them that she is in good hands and flown 2-3 times per week.  Best regards, Jens

Congratulations to Jan van der Flier and
his new North American TF P-51 Mustang!

"Hello Mark, Sorry for my late reaction but I did spend four days in the Mustang.  I am very happy she has arrived and we worked hard to assemble her.  She is in marvelous condition and built with enormous craftsmanship.  We all are impressed about the rebuilding job that has been done.  We had to trust you about the aircraft and it was worth it, we only had some internet photo's to decide the sale.  We got a wonderful restored Mustang from you. Thanks Mark."
-Jan van der Flier, Owner

"Scat VII is now operational. Last Friday I did two test flights. They went very smooth. Saturday I few with Jan for the first time. We went on a 2 hour navigation flight and ferried Scat VII to Antwerp in Belgium. Jan was very impressed by the performance of the Mustang. He is very happy to have flown his new aircraft!  Attached are some pictures of the assembly and engine run."
- Marcel Peerlkamp, pilot
