Hi Sherri,
As for my airplane, I love it! I'm checked out in it now and ready for travel with it!

I had an awesome experience with you folks and I'd definitely do business with you folks again. It was a pleasure doing business with you and Mark! I think the easy going and friendly Midwest lifestyle must help you sell lots of airplanes. Don't change a thing!

Thank you Sherri and Mark, Gregg

To the AOS team,
I have now had my new-to-me Mooney in my hangar for a month. It makes my weekly flight from New Jersey to Maine a non-event, taking less than 2 hours, verses the three hour trip in my former Cherokee. I want to thank you for making the purchase so simple and effortless.  The aircraft was better than advertised. You definitely under promised and over delivered.  In addition, your hospitality and beautiful facility was greatly appreciate, especially when I hung around for hours with my check-out instructor, using your office and drinking your coffee! You made me feel right at home. Mark, the sales representative who sold me the aircraft, could not have been any nicer and more helpful. His offer to facetime and show me every inch for the aircraft before I saw it in person really helped me make the decision to buy. While the aircraft was in great condition, I really appreciate your help getting the IFR certification completed prior to my arrival. That saved me a lot of time and hassle. Lastly, Sherri was great handling all the necessary FAA paperwork required for the sale. Thanks again for all you help and support.

Hi Sherri,
I must tell you, as I told Jon Spaulding, that your company was tops in my estimation. I have owned 6 planes over the last 30+ years, and AOS is hands down the most professional, well organized, and well run company I have ever dealt with. You offered a fair price, you were timely, and you responded promptly on any issue or questions that I had. Thank you to Jon and the rest of your organization. And incidentally, you can quote me on any of this.

As a former Cessna Aircraft dealer, I've seen first-hand what it takes to successfully buy and sell airplanes. AOS exceeded all of my expectations, from start to finish. From the time I spoke to Matt about selling my Cessna 182, until I had cash in hand was less than one week. They handled everything, and everyone I worked with from office staff to the pilot that picked up my airplane, was professional, friendly and made sure I was taken care of. Five stars to AOS. Big thanks to Matt and Jacob.
On a personal note Matt......thanks again for everything......you are truly a class act and were great to work with. Once all the virus craziness is over, I'll buy you dinner when you find your way in AZ. Thanks for everything Matt....Paul

Hi Sherri
Over all my experience with your company was great. Josh went out of his way to help me and we were able to close the deal with me being very satisfied. I have sent you another customer for the arrow that you have for sale. I'm sure you will make the sale on my recommendation.
Thanks again

This being my first airplane to buy I had many questions, concerns and
truthfully a “who do you trust?” issue.

I can fly the plane but buying a used plane is something I had not
done before. I didn’t want to get it wrong. Yeah, I had read all the articles on what you must do
prior to buying (ie) prebuy, insurance, check the logbooks, etc. etc. I had spent plenty of time
on sites such as Trade-A-Plane and kept coming back to Aircraft Ownership
Solutions (AOS). They had the type of used planes I was looking for, the prices seemed
right, their customer write-ups seemed honest, so I flew out to Kokomo, IN to check these guys out.

I wanted to meet them face to face and resolve the trust issue I had over buying a plane.
There I met the owner, Tim Keenan. The first question he asked me was “What’s your mission?”
Well, he had me there. All my flying friends had repeatedly told me that I needed to answer
that question for myself prior to buying a plane. I had done that and when Tim asked me,
and after a good conversation, I was certain he had the same goals for my mission as I had.
Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?

Well, it doesn’t stop there. The whole staff at AOS; Sherri, Jon, Josh treated me with respect,
they were patient with my many questions, they promptly answered my emails, and…
well it just goes on and on. Even Sherri texting me the day I flew home to make sure I arrived OK.
That about brought tears to my eyes. (Thanks Sherri) I highly recommend AOS.
Good honest folks who happen to sell airplanes.

I hope all is well. I wanted to tell you how happy we are to have the new plane in it's new hangar'd home. The plane flew great. I took the family for a flight last weekend and it was an excellent trip. Thanks again for all you did to make this happen for us. We're extremely happy.

Jacob did a very nice job at answering questions before the sale and handling the paper work and aircraft prep before the pickup. A lower temperature in the FFZ area would have been more comfortable!

I purchased a Cessna 150M last Friday 10/18/19. I just wanted to say thank you for the great experience. It is my first aircraft, and you guys made it as easy as it could be. From Josh flying it from Kokomo to us and Sherri helping with questions and giving me an opportunity to buy the plane when the first deal didn’t work out. When I upgrade planes I will be using you guys. Thanks again.

Sincerely, Roger J., Proud Bonanza Owner! Tim,
Just wanted to let you know that my son and I, when we arrived in Kokomo to pick up our airplane, were treated very professionally and made to feel at home. The A/C was ready to view and inspect and everything was provided for to examine it. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to fly her home so I requested that Jim fly her to AZ for me and when the weather turned favorable he flew out in one day! We had a good visit and he just mailed me the expense sheet with all the receipts etc;. Jim answered all my questions about the flight and the plane and was pleasant to talk to. In all my whole experience was a good one and I could not have asked for more."
- Sincerely, Roger J., Proud Bonanza Owner!
Greg G., Flying Club Owner Over a year ago, I purchased a 172N model aircraft from Aircraft Ownership Solutions, and could not be more satisfied. Aircraft from the 70's are far from perfect. All I can ask from a broker if that that aircraft is fairly and honestly described, and that the Prebuy, financing, transfer of title goes smoothly, and finally, that in the end, both parties are satisfied. Add the fact that the aircraft are priced fairly and reasonably, and you have one of the best places that you can purchase an aircraft. After all, does anyone really like to argue price with a seller when the aircraft is overpriced 50%? This is one of the first places that I look when we need another aircraft. Thanks Dan!

Mitch S. Jesup GA. I have purchased and helped clients purchase aircraft multiple times over the last 16 years. I have to say that my experience with Tim and Aaron of Aircraft Ownership Solutions was hands down the Best ever. From my first contact with them by phone through closing this company makes it easy. Finally a dealer who knows how to treat a customer!! Thanks for the cream puff Cherokee 180!!! I sure will do business again!
- Mitch S. Jesup GA.
Matthew M.  Tennessee Incredible company, these guys are top notch! They stand behind what they say. Highly recommended. I bought a Cherokee 235 last month and I'm absolutely in love with. Thank you guys! keep up the great service!

Ed Wickenkamp, Ottumwa, IA This is the 3rd aircraft I've purchased and by far the easiest transaction so far. Aaron handled all of the paperwork required and assisted the lender (this was the lender's first aircraft loan) with necessary documentation and pertinent information. Aaron was always available for phone calls, and answered emails promptly. I feel like we are family. Just as important, I was not forgotten after the sale. Due to weather conditions and flying VFR, I left not realizing there was no tow-bar in the plane and Aaron was quick to handle that oversight, shipping one out right away. If I ever decide to sell my aircraft or purchase another one Aircraft Ownership Solutions will be the first place I call.

Don R.  Sheridan, Indiana I recently purchased a Skyhawk from Aircraft Ownership Solutions and highly
recommend this company to any prospective GA buyer. This is my first
aircraft purchase and I was pleased with the honesty, professionalism, and
courtesy afforded me by Tim, Aaron, Sherri, and Mark. When the time comes
to upgrade I will definitely contact AOS once again.
- Don R. Sheridan, Indiana
Aaron and AOS have been a pure pleasure to work with! Honesty, Integrity and upfront are adjectives best used in describing Aaron. We have done two transactions together and I look forward to many more!

Jim Bishop- Akron, Ohio I recently purchased a very attractive Cherokee 140 from Aircraft Ownership Solutions. My contact person at AOS was Aaron , who I might say made me feel very comfortable right from the onset of the purchase process. This was very important in my case as it was my first airplane purchase. Right or wrong, I put a great deal of faith in Aaron to be honest and to accurately characterize the airplane I eventually bought. As I found out after the purchase, the airplane was exactly as Aaron stated on the AOS website and during our many conversations. Due to a mechanical issue during my initial visit to his Kokomo facility, I had to make a second trip. No small inconvenience on my end as the round trip driving time was almost nine hours. But let me show you what type of guy Aaron is as a person. Aaron recognized the hardship of my second trip to Kokomo. After the sale was final, Aaron grabbed his extra pilot Justin and together they delivered my new purchase to my hangar door in Akron, Ohio. At the end of the day you can expect to be treated very well and receive an honest description of the airplane based on what Aaron knows. Always remember the buyer is responsible to determine if the aircraft meets their own criteria as a buyer's review list may be different from what AOS uses. My wife and I were very pleased with our Aircraft Ownership Solutions buying experience. If I decide to upgrade to a newer, faster airplane in the future, I hope I get a chance to deal with Aaron again.

Jesse D.  Pinson, TN I just recently purchased a 172N from Aircraft Ownership Solutions. Tim, Aaron, Jon, and Sherri were a pleasure to deal with. Anytime I had a question they would answer it without hesitation. Sherri would be the first person I would talk to and had a very charming personality. Tim and Aaron were easy to deal with through the whole transaction. Jon and I met when I arrived to pick the plane up, he answered any question I had at the time of pick up. Very pleased and happy with the airplane. Hope to do future business with Aircraft Ownership Solutions.

Ben B. - Raleigh, NC Aircraft Ownership Solutions made the buying process smooth and streamlined. I recently had a bad experience buying an airplane from a private party that turned out to be a disaster. The contrast between that experience and the experience with Aaron at Aircraft Ownership Solutions was night and day. I wasn’t able to personally pickup N56631 so I had my mechanic fly to Kokomo, do the pre buy inspection and fly it home. Aaron came in on the weekend to facilitate the inspection and make sure everything went as planned. My mechanic gave the thumbs up and we closed without any issues. I'm happy to report that when my mechanic arrived back home at RDU the airplane was 100% as advertised, all the paperwork was in order and it flies beautifully. I couldn’t be any more pleased with the transaction and the professionalism of Aaron and Aircraft Ownership Solutions. Thank you!

I recently purchased my first airplane, a 1969 Piper Cherokee 140, from Aircraft Ownership Solutions. I contacted Aaron via email and he promptly replied and introduced himself and let me know he was available to answer any questions. Initially I was looking at going the 180 route but after a few emails with Aaron and a trip up to AOS, which was made easier by an Uncle living in the area, I decided on a beautiful 140 that will suit my mission just fine and I wound up saving a substantial amount of money over going the 180 route. Aaron showed me around AOS on a Wednesday afternoon and answered all my questions about the planes they had to offer. I went back to Va and the following Monday contacted Aaron and told him I decided on a plane. Unfortunately my lender wasn’t the greatest but Aaron and Sherri helped me along every step of the way and made it as easy as possible for me. Very nice and helpful folks at AOS and would recommend them if you are in the market for a GA airplane.

Tim L - Dallas Texas I would like to thank all of the great folks at Aircraft Ownership Solutions. This was my first aircraft purchase and a I spent over a year looking for the right airplane. I can honestly say that I am happy that I came across Aaron at AOS. Things could’t have been any easier. Aaron was there at every turn making himself available to answer any questions. Sherri took care of all the paperwork and followed up to make sure things went well. What a great company to do business with!

Tyson and Jennifer W.- Ohio Hi everyone.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your efficient and friendly service. Your professionalism and attention to detail made our first airplane purchase a smooth and positive experience. I particularly appreciated that you took the time to get the paperwork and registration prepared prior to my arrival. Also thanks for sending me the log books after flying home without them. We love our new Cessna 172. I'd recommend your company to others looking to purchase an aircraft!
Thanks

Brandon Tucker Instrument, ASEL, A&P, Helicopter Hoist Operator. "I just picked up my instrument rating and wanted to see our beautiful country from the skies. I, too, am an aircraft mechanic and when it came to the purchase of my Cherokee 180--nicknamed "Digit" after my daughter-- the paperwork was sorted out and available for me to review online prior to my arrival. Also, the aircraft was cleaned, annual'd, with "24 months" checks completed with adequate time to enjoy the plane before getting them redone. My 180, with a Garmin 430 WAAS, single axis autopilot has taken me across the US, up and down the California coast, Lake Tahoe, and Catalina. And I look forward to the more places I'll be flying her to. Aircraft Solutions were thorough, professional and welcoming. They even booked an instructor for me to test flight the aircraft to get accustomed to the systems. "
- Brandon Tucker Instrument, ASEL, A&P, Helicopter Hoist Operator.
I have purchased several aircraft from Aircraft Ownership Solutions and am very satisfied. First, the pricing is realistic and based upon the value of the aircraft. Second, I have never had anything but an honest appraisal of the condition of the aircraft. We own a fleet of aircraft for flight schools. I have purchased great aircraft from this organization. Yes, occasionally, they sell a less than perfect aircraft (and I have purchased them), however, my experience is that I was told in advance of those imperfections and knew that I would be working on them post delivery. The imperfections were built into the price.
I believe that Aircraft Ownership Solutions provide a honest price for the product they are selling.
Finally, if you are purchasing used aircraft, you should understand that no seller can anticipate ongoing maintenance issues. Like a well used car, or an old house, there will be issues. All I want from the broker is honesty, which I fell I get from Aircraft ownership solutions.

Dave Miller A big THANK YOU to Aaron at aircraft ownership solutions. Recently purchased my first aircraft from him. As a first timer he took a lot of time walking me through each step, working with the bank(as I had no clue), and answering all the kinder-garden questions that I had. Awesome to deal with. I would definitely recommend them, and wish them all the best. I love my "new" aircraft.

Matt and Abby M. - Tennessee I'm a business owner myself, I understand and appreciate the value of an honest review. I also believe that a review isn't to benefit or hurt the business, but rather to educate those who read them by helping us all make better decisions when making important purchases.
Here is my story, and experience working with Aaron at Aircraft Ownership Solutions.
I bought my first airplane from Aaron back in November of 2015, It was a beautiful Cherokee 235, at the time it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was what I needed and what I could afford. (I really wanted a Beech lol) While finishing up the paperwork I told Aaron
"If you ever run across, you know, that once in a lifetime deal, the one that you know was babied all of its life.. give me a buzz!") Aaron took note and we we headed back to the hanger. My Cherokee wasn't perfect, but it was mine! I flew it a lot the next 2 years and truly learned to fly on that airplane! Had no issues, and the only money I put into that airplane went into the tanks! I was impressed!
Time marches on... a couple years go by and business is good! I get a message from Aaron about an airplane he recently acquired. He strongly suggested I take a look.. Now I understand that he's in the business to make money, so I wasn't too flattered that he reached back out to me, It made me feel special, but that's what good salesmen do. :)
However.....
When I arrived and saw the quality of the airplane, complete logs, near perfect interior and exterior (to me at least) I was blown away! Inspection went perfect! It was even better than he had described. and I was in love! Finally my new Beech!
After a beautiful and stress free flight home, I started thinking to myself, What a great experience, 2 times in a row! I must be blessed and highly favored! I need to tell the world about this lol
I decided that my review may helpful to someone else who may be new to aviation. It may help them not only find a place to buy and airplane, but also help them make a contact with a guy who has a love for the same thing we do! FLYING! . I can't speak for the other sales guys at AOS but I can Aaron, He's genuine, knowledgable, he's got a serving heart and eager to help others. I cant thank him enough for the help and great deals for me and my family. And....I know without a doubt who I'm calling when it's time to buy #3!!!

When it came time to sell my C182 as I upgraded to a TBM, AOS was fair on the price and made it an easy transaction. I would definitely use them again.

Safe travels…..Rick

Robert D. - Cinncinati, OH Thank you for the very pleasant experience in selling my airplane. I felt that the price was very fair, and the process couldn't have been more stress-free. I would definitely call you if I decide to sell my next airplane. Thanks again.

Kim R - California We couldn't have been happier with Chris. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. Even though my husband was about selling our plane, he was very comfortable with how everything was handled. Chris was also very personable. We were happy with being able to help him out with picking him up at the airport as well as having him stay with us. We don't mind you using our picture either.

I would highly recommend your company to anyone looking to buy or sell an airplane.

Thank you,
Kim R.

Bill Very happy with the experience. All my questions were answered quickly and all the paper work was ready to go when I arrived! Quick easy process and the airplane was exactly as presented on their website.

Buying an aircraft from Aircraft Ownership Solutions was an excellent decision. There are many ways to purchase and aircraft, but buying through Aircraft Ownership Solutions is the best and simplest way.
Working with Aaron and the dedicated staff was an absolute pleasure and they made the process as simple as possible and in no time we were flying our very own Archer. I highly recommend Aircraft Ownership Solutions if you are considering buying an airplane. They have excellent staff and very reasonable prices.
They will take care of everything for you.
Thank you very much for all of your help making our dreams become reality.
Regards,
Jim and Jackie M.

Todd W. The entire experience with Aircraft Solutions was seamless and the transaction was very simple. Chris was a pleasure to meet and he was very professional. He was very transparent from the very beginning of our discussions and there were no surprises throughout the process. I determined this was a good solution for me once I evaluated all of my monthly cost and time required to sell the aircraft and it was surely a lot easier. Thanks Chris!

Larry R. Attached is a photo of my wife and I with 7879 Whiskey shortly after having returned to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia from meeting Aaron in Indianapolis to pick up the plane. I want to express my deepest appreciation to Aaron for having been so patient throughout this process, as my wife and I were refinancing our mortgage into a Home Equity Line & it took time to finalize things. Throughout that time, Aaron was able to get the pre-flight and annual inspections done; address minor squawks that come with any aircraft and meet me in Indy to finalize the sale. For insurance purposes, I was compelled to have a CFI perform a check-ride and Aaron also assisted with getting that organized prior to departure.



The day we met to conclude the sale was actually quite dismal, with rain throughout most of the day. Late in the day I was able to complete the check-ride with Mark Phillips (thank you, Mark!) and depart for Cincinnati, spending the night before departing I69 for KSHD the next morning. It was a beautiful post-frontal day with a 35 knot tail-wind, and what had been a seven hour drive in a rental car to get to Cincinnati, was less than a two hour flight home. The Cherokee 180 is a joy to fly and is in pristine condition, just as had been represented.



Aircraft Ownership Solutions made this a very straightforward process and Aaron represented your company with integrity, addressing my many questions along the way. He and your staff in Kokomo made getting through the paperwork simple as well, so my thanks to everyone involved. I had purchased an aircraft some years previously from a private owner, and while that process went reasonably well, I don't think I will do that again. In the future, should I ever have need to purchase another airplane, I'm confident I'll pick up the phone and call AOS to make that happen. As a small business consultant, I can tell you that the measure of any company's performance is in their ability to engender trust and develop repeat business. That is a high standard and in my estimation, you've exceeded it.



Thank you again for everything. Let me know if you decide to have a customer appreciation fly-in sometime. Something tells me it would be a great turn-out and a lot of fun! Best wishes.
- Larry R.
Al W. Chris and John were a pleasure to do business with from the first contact through closure of the sale. They were both friendly, knowledgeable and very professional throughout the process. I should have called AOS 4 months ago.
- Al W.
To Tim and Staff,

After speaking with Tim on the phone I felt his honesty and integrity in telling me the specs and condition of the plane, I bought the J-3 sight unseen.

When it was delivered in a timely manner and fashion by Mr. Mark Phillips to La Porte, TX it exceeded my expectations, I could not have been more happy with it!

I wish Tim and his staff continued success, and would be happy to recommend their company to anyone.

It was great doing business with all of you Tim! The Debonair is a sweet flying plane and I’m extremely happy with it!
Thanks again and best of wishes.

Clayton C. My overall experience with Aircraft Ownership Solutions was very positive. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Aaron made sure we were happy customers. After the deal was finalized and we were ready to fly the airplane away a preflight inspection revealed a part had broken and needed to be replaced before we could fly. Aaron went above and beyond to ensure that the aircraft was airworthy and we could start our long journey home as quickly as possible.

I am happy with my purchase. The ownership transfer process was unbelievably fast and easy.

I would like to mention, your salesman Jacob Meyers is exceptional. No pressure, an expert in this model, and amazing support with all the little details of ownership like… who the good mechanics are, insurance, etc. etc. etc. I also want to thank him for his patience. We looked at a few and in the end, he definitely helped me make the right choice.

AOS is a good outfit. I would buy from you again, and I would easily recommend you to anyone I know who is shopping.

Many thanks to Jon Spaulding for his assistance throughout the purchase, pre-buy, and delivery of my 1972 Cherokee 140. January is a difficult month to deliver an aircraft and Jon was most accommodating while I arranged for delivery to North Carolina. The plane was reasonably priced and well documented. Purchasing from Aircraft Ownership Solutions simplified the complex process of purchasing an airplane.
