I have two basic beliefs about business.  The first is that my products must be the best I can produce..no...the best there is.  My second belief is that my customers are everything.  I want my customers to see me as a friend; someone they can talk to; someone who is concerned about the quality of their flying experiences.   

 

I'm lucky, as my customers are some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet and so it's easy for me to treat them as friends.  We got to take photos of some of these friends at the recent Château Montebello fly-in and I thought it would be nice to present a few of them to you.  These are very special people.

 

 

Tom Huber, one of our German friends, is flying our skis and really loves them.  Click here for more photos. 

 

 

 

 

Dennis Kajiura flew in from the Ottawa region.  He liked the first set of skis he bought from us so much that he bought a second pair.   

 

Dennis commented that people are discovering how retractable skis revolutionize winter flying. He's a ray of sunshine and always has that bright smile. 

 

 

 

Here I'm talking with Bob Hanson (on the left), from Ontario.  He owns 3 Challengers and and a Pitts Special.  He bought his second set of our skis at the Montebello fly-in. 

 

 

 

Bruce Dexter lives in Lyndonville, Vermont.  He bought a set of our skis at the show.  Bruce is a typical, friendly, aviation afficionado.  He owns a Challenger and a BEECH STAGGERWING!!!  Here's what he had to say recently: 

 

"Gisele and myself enjoyed seeing you folks at the Montebello winter fly-in again this year.  Hope that you had a prosperous and fun weekend.  

 

Snow is good in Vermont and we're really enjoying our Datum skis.  They work great!  Please find the enclosed pics of our Staggerwing and Challenger on skis. Remember that we would welcome your visit any time. 

 

Sincerely, Bruce & Gisele" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leonel Richard drove to Montebello from Miramichi N.B. to take part in this fly-in. He built his own Challenger and he's another happy owner of our MK11 fiberglass retractable skis.

 

We received this wonderful photo from Richard Gagné.  It came with this note: 

 

"Last Saturday I returned to Tremblant, where I had taken off from deep snow.  The skis behaved spectacularly.  I regularly take off with wheels and land with skis and vice-versa... the electrical mechanism functions flawlessly." 

 

That's Richard on the far right.  His wife is in the middle.  The guy on the left is Mike Loben, a good friend of ours.
