The magic of the Phoenix is that the aircraft is so much better than the sum of its performance upgrades. Jim carefully manages every detail of the renewal with the purpose of creating a brand-new and exciting aircraft. His success can be measured by the enthusiasm of the aircraft pilots, the relaxed and total comfort of its passengers, and the attention of fellow aircraft owners on the ramp. Many are commenting that 979SL is the sexiest plane on the field. The Trefethen Family are all certainly Blackhawk Ambassadors!
I did a type ride with a guy who also operates a 350 today. He was smitten with my plane. The product you’ve put together really is outstanding. Paint looks stunning, the interior is beautiful, the cockpit looks better than a new plane, and of course the performance is just phenomenal! Your attention to detail on everything far exceeded my expectations. The “Phoenix” brand has a bright future.
