Wheat First Securities, Inc., Post Office Box 27 (28388), Yadkin Park, Southern Pines, NC 28387 - 919/892-3000 Wheat First Securities Carolina Aircraft George Johnson 109 Kelvdon Dr. Kernersville, NC 27284 Dear George, Initially I was very skeptical about hiring a consultant to find an airplane. Not only was the additional cost a concern, I felt very capable of negotiating my own deal. I was pleasantly surprised and now, after using Carolina Aircraft and accepting delivery of my airplane, I realize how much value you created for me. Your service easily paid for itself, not to mention the time saving and reduced risk, both of which were additional benefits for me. As the search process began, you spent a lot of time with me identifying my objectives as they related to flying and specifically the airplane itself. Your ability to evaluate the basic airplane and each piece of radio equipment made the decision making businesslike and unemotional. It seemed very easy to pick and choose prospective airplanes as they came along, again because of your skill at knowing the values of Beech Aircraft and the various radio packages. Your expertise during the negotiation phase was excellent. I explained exactly what I wanted and you delivered in a very timely manner. Sacramento, California is a long way away from North Carolina, especially when buying a big ticket item. Your maintenance contacts in California were especially helpful in providing accurate information so we could make good decisions on whether or not to proceed. The real proof came as we arrived in Sacramento and I saw my airplane for the first time. That's when I realized how thorough you had been in the search and negotiation process. There is no way I could have handled this on my own. George, I appreciate the professional manner in which you handled the purchase of my Beechcraft. You made the experience profitable and enjoyable. Very truly yours, John Kober Senior Vice President Investment Officer Financial Consultant Member new York Stock Exchange and SIPC
