Retired American Airlines Captain Gets HOT Mooney

Premier Aircraft Sales, with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Dallas, Texas, announced that it has delivered its 200th airplane to a retired American Airlines captain and his wife. This milestone was reached just two years after the company was formed in 2003.

The customers, Robert and Loretta Kwass, purchased a 2005 Mooney Ovation equipped with a Garmin G1000 glass panel from Fred Ahles, president of Premier.

Said Ahles, "It has been a pleasure to work with Bob and Loretta, and we take pride in knowing that someone of Bob's vast aviation experience chose a new Mooney above all other brands in its class. It's a testament to the product.

"For Premier," said Ahles, "it seems like we just started yesterday, and we have already delivered 200 aircraft. This rapid growth is due to the experience, dedication and professionalism of our entire staff. We are proud of the products we sell - new Mooneys and Diamonds - and of our people, who have a long track record of ensuring customer satisfaction."

Kwass, who resides in Lighthouse Point, Florida, has flown over 26,000 hours. He last captained an MD 11. Kwass first flew in 1957, served as a pilot in the US Army,and has been active in the Angel Flight organization. This is his third Mooney.

According to Kwass, "The Ovation is a great performer and probably the best-built airplane on the market today. I appreciate its strength, handling, safety, and comfort. The seats and air conditioning are great. And the G1000 panel is a quantum leap in technology!"
