Coming To An Aerodrome Near You?
The wandering flyers of
Velocity Aircraft continue to show off their spirit of wanderlust
as they traverse America bringing their canard wonder to flyers all
over America. Figuring out that "not everyone has the time to break
away to visit the Velocity factory in Florida," Velocity has been
reaching out to customers this year by offering demonstration rides
in selected cities across the USA.
The 2004 Barnstorming Tour began in Houston, Texas a month ago
while cities yet to be visited this month include Marysville,
Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica, California.
Velocity enthusiasts who live near the scheduled cities are
invited to bring friends and family to see the Velocity XL-RG and
to take part in a demonstration ride. The demo ride costs $150,
which covers you and up to two additional guests (depending upon
weight limitations) to take along during the ride. Those who take a
demo ride are offered a full $150 credit towards the purchase of a
kit within one-year. Velocity, Inc. plans to offer additional
incentives for those who take a demo ride and who purchase a kit
soon afterwards.
The Velocity, Inc. office staff will be coordinating invitations
and advance reservations for demonstration rides. Please contact
Melanie Francis at 772-589-1860 or email at Melanie@velocityaircraft.com
for more information. While they plan to stop at each of the
cities on the schedule, these are tentative locations that are
hinged to a minimum of (3) pre-registered guests. Registered guests
will be sent detailed information as to the date, time, airport,
and FBO location to meet the Velocity crew.
