Sonomo Jet Center Joins the Flight Design Team
SOUTH WOODSTOCK, CONN. / November 16, 2011 - Continuing the Flight Design USA pattern of adding locations to better serve customers, west coast distributor Flight Design West recently engaged Sonoma Jet Center of Sonoma, California as a new Flight Design dealer.
Because Flight Design USA sells and services the largest fleet of Light-Sport Aircraft in the United States and in preparation for the new four-seat C4, high quality organization such as Sonoma Jet Center, with vast experience and the highest levels of customer service, are valued additions to the Flight Design network.
"As we continue to grow the Flight Design national network, we are pleased to welcome Sonoma Jet Center," stated John Gilmore, National Sales Manager for Flight Design USA. "Flight Design USA maintains a closely-monitored network of 35 outlets across America - including both CT aircraft dealerships and Flight Design Pilot Centers."
"Aircraft sales is an exciting growth area for us. We are leveraging the best of the Sonoma Jet Center to make a professional aircraft sales organization for Sonoma County, the North Bay, and beyond," said Joshua Hochberg, President of Sonoma Jet Center and Sonoma Jet Aircraft Sales. Sonoma Jet Aircraft Sales is a full service aircraft sales company with an experienced maintenance shop, helpful concierge services, and ample hangar space.
"We are very excited to be a Flight Design aircraft dealer," Hochberg observed. "From the first time I flew the aircraft, I knew we had to be a Flight Design dealer. With class-leading performance, the Flight Design CTLS not only has the benefits of being a Light-Sport Aircraft, it is also a technologically advanced training aircraft, and a comfortable and efficient cross-country machine. Most importantly, the Flight Design CTLS is amazingly fun to fly!"
"We are very pleased to welcome Sonoma Jet Aircraft Sales as a Flight Design dealer," confirmed Tom Peghiny, president of Flight Design USA. Their professional sales organization will help us to better market the Flight Design CTLS, already the best selling Light Sport Aircraft in the country. Sonoma Jet Center is also integral to our plans to sell and distribute the C4, our planned all-composite 4-place aircraft offering exceptional capabilities, value, and flying pleasure."
