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.
