Aircraft Transaction Advisory Services

Our Clients Come First

Our firm exists for two purposes, to be recognized as the best in the business, and to put the needs of our clients first. Our recommendations are unbiased because our revenue comes solely from our core business. As your fiduciary, we have no stake in the management, operation or maintenance of your aircraft. When your aircraft transaction is at its most critical moment we are on task, not in the cockpit at 37,000 feet.

Testimonials

“It is clear that Dave is really knowledgeable in the Aviation industry. It also impressed me that he did not disappear when the sale was final. Dave has been in constant contact even after the sale to make sure everything is going smooth. I would recommend Dave to anyone who was looking to buy or sell an aircraft.”

H2C Air LLC

“Dave is an airplane encyclopedia. Dave concluded that the Legacy 600 market was significantly overpriced relative to other options and identified the Falcon 900C as a better value. We couldn’t be happier with the communications, level of service and outcome. We are also using Dave to sell our Learjet 45XR. Dave did a full market study and presented a sales strategy to take advantage of market conditions. Dave will be honest with you about what your plane is worth and doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear.”

Gurley-Leep Automotive Family - Mishawaka, Indiana, Acquistion of Falcon 900C, Sale of Learjet 45XR

“Buying the Falcon 7X was difficult because of the sellers situation. However, your guidance with this complex international transaction resulted in buying the plane well below the market. I am equally impressed with your job selling the Falcon 2000EX EASy. You negotiated a good contract and managed the buyers inspection very well. The combinations of transactions you have help us with has made a significant contribution to our bottom line.”

Belgioioso Cheese, Inc. Green Bay, Wisconsin, Acquisition of Falcon 7X, Sale of Falcon 2000EX EASy

“We were extremely pleased with your creativity in negotiating and managing a King Air 200 Air Ambulance conversion that produced a full retail (asking price) value for my King Air. Your knowledge of the aircraft, encyclopedic understanding of FAA regulations, export requirements, assistance with photography, log book and repair documentation is impressive. I did not expect to get such superior credentials from a broker. You are one of a kind!”

Budget Rent-A-Car Drummond Island, Michigan, Sale of Beechcraft King Air 200

“On behalf of Xcel Energy we’d like to thank you for your assistance and expertise in helping us transition our aircraft fleet. Your upfront analysis of our aviation needs was of great help to our internal decision-makers when deciding what to replace our existing aircraft with. As you know were were able to come in under budget on the acquisitions of the two Cessna Sovereigns, and met our budget expectations on the sale of our two Learjet 45’s. We will definitely recommend using your services for future aircraft transactions and analysis”

Xcel Energy, Inc. - Minneapolis, Minnesota, Acquisition of two (2) Citation Sovereigns, Sale of two (2) Learjet 45’s

“We couldn’t image the process without your service. Not only did you find an aircraft to meet our needs in a very tight market, but you handled all the details with ease due to your extensive knowledge of the industry. It was a pleasure to work with you and we would highly recommend your service to anyone looking for a smooth aircraft acquisition.”

Curt Fredin, President

Fredin Brothers, Inc. - Springfield, Minnesota, Acquisition of Pilatus PC-12/47 (First Time Buyer)

“Throughout the process, you were always available to answer our questions, day or night, seven days a week. You hunted down a range of options and helped us compare and contrast the choices. You eased us through the complexities of the purchase process and helped us set up our LLC. You were part of the team the whole way.”

Kerry Clark, Former Chairman and CEO (Retired)

Cardinal Health Cincinnati, Ohio, Acquisition of Citation Excel

“Dave’s experience was refreshing, seeing how it opened my eyes to why it is so critical to have the right person leading and coordinating a complex deal. Dave’s experience in dealing with folks from other countries and cultures gave me the confidence to remain patient. I am an experienced Chief Pilot for a corporate flight department, and I simply would never have been able to effectively close the deal considering all the gotcha’s with international purchases. Dave demonstrated unwavering loyalty and perseverance well after the transaction closed. What he went through, while on vacation with his family, was beyond expectations.”

Jonathan Rose, Chief Pilot

Corporate Flight Department - Scottsbluff, Nebraska, First Time Buyer

“It’s rare to find someone that brings the same passion to advocating for his client. With that said, one name stands out – David Coleman. David’s technical knowledge and operations experience is equal to the best consultants in the industry, while having the business savvy and honesty that is not found with most aircraft brokers. He perseveres to the last lead and does not stop until the transaction is fully completed. The service I have received is beyond what is expected.”
