Flying The Legend Cub Made More Affordable Through Cooperative Ownership

SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS, JUNE 25, 2009 – American Legend Aircraft Company announced today a Cooperative Ownership Program whereby its celebrated Legend Cub can be purchased for as little as $2900 down, and flown for as little as $28 per hour. The Legend Cub is a two-place aircraft certified for sport and recreation.

The new Legend Cub Cooperative Ownership Program is made available through LetsFly.org. LetsFly is a professionally managed company in business since 1999. LetsFly has developed cooperative aircraft ownership programs, including discounts and benefits, for customers throughout the U.S. The LetsFly concept solves the myriad problems faced by pilots such as aircraft utilization, capitalization, insurance, and financing. By utilizing cooperative agreements, the cooperative efforts of its members, and other proprietary factors, the LetsFly Cooperative Ownership Program can substantially reduce the cost of flying and aircraft ownership.

Eldon Corry, President of LetsFly, stated, “We have shown that our model works. The LetsFly Cooperative Ownership Program enables pilots to achieve their goal of aircraft ownership, and do it affordably. By combining all the aspects of aircraft ownership into a single, manageable package, we can offer an attractive solution to those who wish to fly often, but prefer not to rent. Participants also enjoy other benefits, such as pride of aircraft ownership.” Corry continued, “With hundreds of cooperatives nationwide, LetsFly has become the largest aircraft cooperative in the country. We have a growing list of satisfied customers. We believe that in these increasingly tough economic times our offering represents a very appealing aircraft ownership alternative.”

American Legend Aircraft Company offers the Light-Sport Certified Legend Cub at a ready-to-fly price of $109,895.

Monthly payments will vary depending on loan interest rate, but range from $365 to $430.
