“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”

“Hello, I was on the web yesterday looking at your aircraft for sale and was intrigued by this P-51. I am originally from Winnipeg and the fact that this is a former 402 City of Winnipeg Squadron Mustang was of great interest. My father was a former C.O. of 402 Squadron and flew Vampires and Mustangs in the reserves post war after 2 tours during WWII as a Lancaster pilot and Mosquito pilot in the RCAF. In fact, I went to his log books and on two occasions are entries from 1951 where he flew this particular Mustang, aircraft no. 9563. Quite amazing that I can look at those pictures and know that this is the particular aircraft that the old man flew. Unfortunately, I am not a Microsoft millionaire or I would be quite tempted to acquire this airplane. Thanks for posting these pictures. I found them to be of great interest. Good luck to you.”

“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”

“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.”

“We are very pleased to let you know that we made it safely to Germany. We would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your team for the superb work, once again, I must add, you did with regard to the market research, purchase and mods of the Cessna 182Q. We appreciated very much your professional service, smooth handling of the transaction and full support at all times. Furthermore, we thank you for your recommending to us Cliff’s workshop, Heritage Aero, which did an excellent job. We are fully satisfied with the our new aircraft, it flies great, no problems whatsoever with the engine. We learned that it can easily handle extreme weather and flight conditions in parts of the world that we normally do not get to so often. We may add that David and Tony at Avionics Place also completed their works, timely as agreed upon. Once again our appreciation and thanks for the brilliant work you did!”

“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!”
