Greetings. My company, Business Aircraft Management, Inc. recently hosted a “SkyBox” on the 16th hole at the Phoenix FBR (Golf) Open in Scottsdale, AZ. We are in the business of buying, selling, chartering and managing corporate business jets.

I was trying to create some ‘presence’ at the entrance to our SkyBox, so I bought several models from TMC (Gulfstream G-IVSP, Cessna Citation X, Dassault Falcon 900EX, Beechcraft Hawker 800XP, Cessna Citation Ultra, etc) and displayed the models on the entry table.

Not surprisingly, these models drew a LOT of attention from guests, adjacent SkyBox patrons and hundreds of passers-by. Not just a few, but many asked where they came from, how could they get one, etc. Most of these people were not aviation enthusiasts … but they were very interested and impressed about how detailed and ‘cool’ the models were.

We held drawings at the end of each day and gave a model away to 5 lucky guests. I’ve received very nice ‘thank-you’ cards from each of them, telling me how much they were enjoying their models.

My investment in the TMC models was well worth every penny. I am positive some of the guests and patrons either have already visited, or will come to the Scottsdale showroom in the near future and walk out with something special.

Models are not just for kids … my experience is that the adults enjoy them every bit as much, if not more!

Thanks TMC for helping to make my event a success. I’ll be ordering again from your company soon!
