Sales, Randy S. Bolinger, in a release to ANN. "These folks
evaluate extremely high-end products from around the world in a
wide variety of categories. To have Robb Report recognize the
Columbia 400 as the best in its class demonstrates that they have
done their due diligence and truly understand what makes a personal
aircraft the class leader. "
