"THE
FLIGHT SCHOOL"
From: Jim Salmonsen
<Topgunn62@aol.com>
Hi Denis,
Jim Salmonsen here in Upstate N.Y. I have been meaning to
forward this for some time, but wanted everyone to know that
the shop at our home field,(Oswego County,FZY),has risen above
and beyond in the task of taking great care of my Swift since
I purchased it. Believe me, she needed a LOT of sorting out,
but she`s top notch now. There`s nothing they have not excelled
in, being airframe or powerplant. The name of the shop is,
"The Flight School", it is owned by Lon and Marge Sauter,
and head Mechanic is Luke Giroux. The whole staff is personable,
professional, and well worth the flight to reach them! Hope
this helps some Northeast Swifters!! Great Web Site!!!! --
