Testimonials

I recently completed the 192-month maintenance and full refurbishment of my Gulfstream G550 at West Star Aviation. Mike managed the entire process flawlessly. From initial quotes to final inspections, he handled everything with exceptional detail and professionalism. His negotiation skills and attention to detail ensured top-quality results. Mike took a significant workload off my plate and noticed details I never would have. I highly recommend his services for any aviation project, and I guarantee that you will save money and headaches.

As Inventory Dealers, we have transacted many times as both Buyer and Seller. It has been both reassuring and comforting to lean on Beacon’s services. Beacon has assisted us with all facets of purchase/sale, from preliminary inspections, to Pre-Purchase inspection planning, inspection oversight, and delivery. We have always appreciated their great communication and dependability.

– Peter H, Aircraft Dealer and Owner

Mike’s professionalism and expertise were evident from the start. His unique background of working at Gulfstream as a Service Manager gave him insight into how things worked at Gulfstream which resulted in a great working relationship with the service center representatives and kept the project on time. His weekly reporting and summaries proved invaluable. And his diligence to resolve the final billing was impressive. While it may be difficult to quantify, I suspect we saved much more than his fee. He demonstrated his integrity daily and ensured the service center representatives were accountable.

Kenny, Aircraft Owner

One conversation with Mike and you’ll realize you need to hire him for the sale or acquisition of your aircraft. There is no one more knowledgeable, thorough or passionate about aircraft maintenance and condition – the value add is extremely tangible.

– Gus W, Sales Associate

We will not purchase a large cabin aircraft without Beacon’s assistance and oversight.  They are intimately familiar w each aircraft and its respective “gotchas” that can only come from years of hands-on experience.  In addition, they always end up saving us more in time and money that what we pay for.

– Jaimes A, Sales & Aquisitions

Mike has assisted many of my clients with pre-purchase inspections on both the buying and selling side and has helped pre-screen aircraft prior to beginning the pre-purchase process. His communication is always meticulous, detailed and very helpful. His formal reports, including relevant photographs, are professional and always delivered promptly. It seems to me he works 24/7. His knowledge of how factory service centers work is invaluable. Most importantly he has proven to be very accurate in his assessment of aircraft quality and maintenance pedigree.

– Gary Goltz, Founding Partner, Prime Aircraft, LLC – Aircraft Broker

I first became acquainted with Mike & Dan when we acquired an aircraft for a client. The honesty, integrity and competence were evident to me from our first dealings.

After we purchased the aircraft, I hired Beacon to shepherd the aircraft through a significant maintenance event, new paint, interior and avionics upgrades. Their technical knowledge, skills and contacts are unparalleled….I have found them to be responsive, competent, and timely. Their ability to leverage their contacts, use of technology and reporting has pleased my clients and I’ve had nothing but great reviews.

Since our first transaction together, I’ve used Beacon in four additional transactions, all of them with varying degrees of complexities and in every case, we have delivered an excellent product to our clients. In one case in particular, Dan traveled around the world with me and our client’s team on 2 days’ notice….we were able to complete a complex and large transaction with zero hitches …we could have not done it without Beacon’s expertise and contacts. Our client was thrilled and is now operating the aircraft seamlessly.

I’ve referred Beacon to several colleagues and without exception the comments are all superlative.

In my many decades in the aircraft sales business, I must say that Beacon brings knowledge, competency, technology, and client services to a new level. Try them and I think you’ll agree.
