I want to thank you for your help on the my recent purchase of a PC-12. What can I say... you found me a mint PC-12 in record time, you got me a deal where I paid tens of thousands of dollars less for a 125 TT plane than other people were paying for an identical plane with 400+TT in the crowded Pilatus market and you helped quickly get my pilot up to speed on our new aircraft. You flew across the country to get a difficult close worked out on schedule. Your fee is the best bargain in the general aviation and you are a pleasure to deal with. Please don't hesitate to send anyone needing an enthusiastic reference my way.

As somebody who had never purchased an airplane, I entered the market with a great deal of misgivings and fear as I began to look for a Piper Malibu Mirage for my business. I decided tocontact somebody with experience in the industry for some help, and I was told that Richard Bynum was the man to call. That was the best move I have ever made. Richard was a delight to work with. He is honest, forthright, and diligent, and his knowledge is nicely complemented by a wry sense of humor. Our deal was completed on a handshake, and Richard went well beyond the call of duty to help me with my purchase. He was tireless in finding the right airplane for me, and he held my hand through the entire process, including accompanying me on the pre-buy inspection in another state. Always with a smile, he helped me handle all the paperwork, and equally important, introduced me to all those I needed to contact to complete the transaction, from insurance agents to CFIs specializing in the PA-46. I would never even consider buying another airplane without Richard’s help.

We bought our first airplane in 2001, and Richard helped us through the entire process of pre-buy inspection, financing, and purchase. We sold that plane this year, in 2003, and purchased a Pilatus PC-12. Because of our incredible previous experience with Richard, we went back to him for help through the process of selling the first plane, and purchasing our second. He was of incredible assistance in guiding us through the process. We would highly recommend his services! Please call if you need further information.

I live in France. During 1999 I discovered the Jet Prop on internet and went to the States to see one for myself. I was convinced, and returned to France to figure out how to buy a Malibu for conversion to a Jet Prop. In the States, I had met Calvin Miller, one of the first Jet Prop customers. I called him to ask for help, and he suggested that I call Richard Bynum – so I did.

Richard sent various specifications of possible Malibus for conversion, and finally one came through for N595PM with a very positive endorsement. I decided to go to the States to see it, and had a cheque prepared to buy the plane on the spot if I felt that it was as good as Richard was telling me. There I was, ready to leave, and I couldn’t board the plane because my passport was out of date!! I called Richard to explain, convinced that I’d lost the plane, because the owner wanted to move it fast. Richard just said – don't worry, I'll buy it, sort out the passport problem, and then come and buy it from me if you feel it is the right plane – which he did – and the closest we had ever been in our relationship was a couple of phone calls.

I finally sorted my problems, and went to St. Antonio. I liked the plane and decided to buy it. The next problem was that with my French pilots licence, I couldn't get insurance to fly the plane to Spokane.

Again, no problem, Richard said that he would fly the plane to Spokane with me, and he would sell it to me at Spokane. All he wanted was for me to pay his air fare home. Ok, so we set off. After the first leg of the flight, we tried to take off from Farmington, but we had motor problems. We stayed 3 days trying to cajole some mechanics to work a little faster than “dead slow. When everything was ready, and I went to pay the bill, Richard tried to stop me saying that I hadn’t yet bought the plane, it was still his, and therefore he should pay the bill. He allowed me to pay, but later refused payment for the flight home.

So, if you are looking for someone to help you buy the right Malibu – look no further – you can have full confidence in Richard!!!

Just a note to thank you for all your wise counsel and valuable help regarding my purchase of the Meridian. I couldn't be happier with the service and skill you provided. You found me the perfect plane and perfect pilot. The value and expertise you provide is outstanding.

I wanted to thank you for your leading the acquisition search, inspection and delivery process for my partners and I. We could not be more pleased with the aircraft, or the way in which your service was provided. Without your confidence, relationships, honesty and candor, we would have been lost (and surely paid much more) in what has become a rather frenzied Pilatus market. Please feel free to direct potential customers to my attention for a recommendation. Thank you again.
