Gryphon,

Happy New Year!
Could you give an update on the Tecnam acquisition and how long until we see the aircraft and your estimate as to when we can start getting trained on flying it?

Thanks

PS: By the way, I must tell you that Deanna (spelling?) who works there on weekends is a breath of fresh air compared to the gentleman that used to be there. She is engaging, friendly and shows that she cares about customer satisfaction, give her a raise!

Nick,

Thanks as always for the feedback.

The TECNAM P92 Eaglet is now available at an introductory rate of $98/hr!

We will be getting a TECNAM Sierra P2002 in February, which is a full glass panel and will rent for a little more.

These are beautiful new demonstrator aircraft.

BTW, if you have ((positive!?)) feedback, please give us a review on AirNav.com !!!

The P2002 Sierra is available as of April for $115/hour.
