I am delighted to join your long list of content clients.  Many thanks for delivering a superb squawk-free airplane and for your unparalleled service.

You and your extraordinary team made the process fun.  My checkout with Bill was very enjoyable and educational.  He shared a lot of valuable insights into Bonanza-specific flying techniques and engine maintenance.  Your other staff is always very helpful and efficient.  Your mechanics are top quality professionals who take pride in their work.

Let me know when you get up to Santa Monica.  The sushi is on me.

Thanks again.

Dear Mike,

It was nice to hear from you.  Thank you for the T-shirt and key chains.  I have had the GPS installed in the airplane and flew it for the first time Sunday and again yesterday on Wednesday.  The two solo flights that I have had have been magnificent.  The airplane is wonderful.  I can't thank you enough for helping to make this possible.

Sincere thanks and best wishes to you in the future.  I will certainly refer my friends to you that are interested in high quality, high performance aircraft.

Sincerely,
Douglas A. Bobb, D.O., F.A.O.A.O., F.A.C.O.S.

Dear Mr. Borden,

I recently heard that you were nominated by the San Diego Chamber of Commerce for Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Since I have known you for more than six years, have bought three airplanes from you, and have had the pleasure of your company on numerous fishing and hunting trips, I feel qualified to write a very strong letter of recommendation for this award.

I have always been inspired by your integrity in all of our business dealings and with friends of mine, who have dealt with you.  I have never heard of or had any complaints with any of our business dealings.  I have been impressed with your speed and thoroughness in which follow-up situations were handled.

In my opinion, you have a wonderful, warm personality, and a great sense of humor.  Your enthusiasm is extremely catching and I can't think of another businessman or friend that I would rather spend time with in either hard negotiations over an airplane or on a fishing trip.

I can think of no other person who deserves this award more than you.  I know of the many long hard hours you have put in and the personal sacrifices you've made to bring your company to what it is today.

Respectfully yours,
Daryl K. Reavis, D.M.D

To Whom It May Concern:

The first of this year I purchased a Beechcraft Bonanza B36TC from Mike Borden of High Performance Aircraft.  When I sell this plane and if I buy another one it will unquestionably be through Mike.  In a field saturated with brokers and dealers, High Performance Aircraft stands above the rest both in quality and presentation of the airplanes and honesty and integrity with their sale.

Before finding High Performance Aircraft I visited two other brokers.  These brokers were obviously working on a shoe string ready to break.  Their planes were high time and dirty, if present at all.  Their offices were small with a temporary look to them.  In contrast, Mike runs a company that is clearly in business for the long haul.  His hangar has the look of a NASA clean room.  His aircraft are nothing but the highest quality.  His employees are some of the nicest people one would want to meet and obviously enjoy working for him.

I would not be surprised to discover that High Performance Aircraft is already one of the largest, by volume, used aircraft broker-dealers in the United States and with Mike's energy, business acumen, and aggressive advertising, I expect nothing but further growth.

Sincerely,
Greg Davis, D.D.S.



To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to let you know that Mike Borden at High Performance Aircraft was more than helpful to me with the selling and purchasing of my planes.  Mike is a very personable man and a pleasure to work with.  Within a very short time he had found a buyer for my plane and had also found me the exact plane I was looking for to purchase.

I would recommend Mike to anyone who needed help and/or information on selling or purchasing a plane.
