"I have been involved in aviation for over 20 years in all different capacities from
flying for a scheduled Part 121 airline to owning a FBO with a charter and aircraft management service.
I purchased AircraftCostAnalysis and with relative ease I am now presenting my current and potential new
clients with a professional analysis. The flexibility and accuracy of the comparisons make it easy to
customize a report for any of the customers' needs. Sam has always been extremely prompt and
professional in helping me with the cost analysis program. I recommend AircraftCostAnalysis to any
manager or sales person who wants an accurate and professional presentation."
-- Andrew Doremus, Owner, The Rifle Jet Center & The Flight Department Inc., Rifle, CO |

"I have been extremely impressed with the Aircraft Cost Analysis program. It has taken
a job that used to take hours and reduced it to a few minutes. The ability to show a prospective
customer after tax cash flows is a powerful sales tool. I also appreciate your responsiveness and
individual attention to get back with me when I was in the process of learning how to use the program. I
am confident that this program will pay back the original investment many times over the next year. "
-- Allen Howell, CEO, Corporate Flight Management, Smyrna, TN |
 |
|
"The AircraftCostAnalysis program is a powerful tool for me. Corporate aircraft are
increasingly viewed more as business tools than luxury items. Prospective buyers seem to analyze the
cost/benefit economics of an airplane purchase decision much more than they have in the past. Your
software allows me to provide my customers with thorough data that they can use to make sound business
decisions."
-- Jerry Moore, JetForce, St Louis, MO |
 |
|
"Producing professional, accurate aircraft analysis is a must to be successful. You can
spend a lot of time trying to accomplish this, and still not have the client understand the information.
AircraftCostAnalysis addresses all the problems. In a short time you can master it and produce the
reports required to make the right choice."
-- Jack Dell’Amico, FirstFlight, Avoca, PA |
 |
|
"I just want to compliment you on your SLM AircraftCostAnalysis program. As brokers of
some of the most desirable high performance aircraft we deal daily with well informed buyers. Your
program has given us the tool to present actual costs of ownership and operation in a clear and
understandable presentation with the utmost accuracy. I credit you and your AircraftCostAnalysis program
in helping us close more deals. I would highly recommend your program to anyone in the aviation
business. Great Job Sam... Your 30 years of experience in the aviation business is very evident..."
-- Bill Welch, General Manager, Total Performance Aircraft LLC, Olympia, WA |

"Thank You Sam Miller for developing the most complete and accurate cash flow and cost
accounting model for the aviation industry. It will truly help us compete with the larger factory
presentations with success. The only thing it is missing is the brown leather cover. This will help
Cutter Aviation continue to be one of the top new Raytheon, Piper and Socata sales centers in the world,
let alone excel in the pre-owned Aviation Business. Many continued successes Sam."
-- Will Cutter, President, Cutter Aviation, Inc, Phoenix, AZ |
 |
|
"Producing detailed and accurate cash flow analyses is one of the primary support tools
we provide to our dealer network. We recently switched from a proprietary cash flow program to Sam's
AircraftCostAnalysis, and continue to be amazed at its powerful capabilities, the flexibility of the
scenarios that can be produced, and at how easy the user-interface is to learn. It's helped us provide a
better service at a lower cost."
-- Tom Aniello, Vice President Marketing, Pilatus Business Aircraft, Broomfield, CO |

"I needed a complete cost analysis for the purchase of a new King Air 200. Rather than
spend hours creating spreadsheets and researching facts, I contacted Sam Miller and within a short time
frame Sam e-mailed me the complete program and quickly walked me through the program. In an hour's time,
I not only became familiar with the program, but also had the final cost analysis completed for a King
Air 200. Thanks again Sam. I would recommend AircraftCostAnalysis to everyone in the industry!"
-- Phil Bracamonte, President, Jimsair Aviation Services, Inc., San Diego, CA |
 |
|
"Just a quick note to tell you how much time your product has saved me since my recent
purchase. In the past, I have tried to manually construct Excel spreadsheets to do cost analyses. The
result was usually wasted hours and frustration. Your AircraftCostAnalysis has saved me hours, and will
make a much nicer presentation to the client. It took me about an hour to learn my way around it. It's
very intuitive, and easy to learn. The small dollar investment was well worth it. Thanks for inventing
this efficiency tool!"
-- Craig Ward, Sales and Marketing, TXI Aviation, Inc., Dallas, TX |
 |
|
"This a very powerful program that will be very helpful to our customers. Thanks for
your help, consultation, and with the evaluation process. It is a software program that is easy to use
which is why I will use it often."
-- Maynard Blair, President, Blair Aviation Inc., Appleton, WI |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis is a great addition for our sales staff. Before we had the
program the best answer we could give our clients concerning taxes, depreciation, and overall costs of
operation was to "seek advise from your tax professional". Now we can effortlessly give our clients a
quick overview of costs associated with their new "potential purchase" without having to become tax
professionals ourselves. Kudos to SLM, Inc. for this awesome tool."
-- Jay Gantt, President, Gantt Aviation, Inc., Georgetown, TX |
 |
|
"Sam Miller, through SLM, Inc., has created the most powerful tool to date for those
who wish to compete on a level playing field with the 'Majors' in the Fractional Ownership or 'Aircraft
Management' field. His cost analysis models not only provide the customer with extensive cash flow, tax,
and expense information, but allow potential managers to project profitability and/or competitiveness
with other entities. Thanks Sam!!"
-- Mark L. Haggenmacher, President, AirSouth, Jonesboro, AR |
 |
|
"An excellent tool that is comprehensive in determining actual costs from many aspects.
We are able to show our clients actual comparisons with different models. Also we are able to compare
these models with different types of ownership. SLM has brought years of experience to aviation and
incorporated this information into their software. Customer support has been excellent and we look
forward to working with Sam in the future."
-- John R. Bell II, Gulf Pacific Aviation Services,
Your Cessna Citation Resource Center, Wichita, KA |

"We have found the AircraftCostAnalysis program to be a very valuable tool for both
assisting financial professionals, and the businessmen they serve. We serve hundreds of aircraft owners
and operators, and this tool helps us deliver a professional presentation at a reasonable price. I
particularly appreciate the ease of completion of the input sheet, and the thought generated by the
questions asked. Very nice product at a fair price, thanks for helping us do a better job."
-- Lou Meiners, President, Advocate Consulting, Indianapolis, IN |
 |
|
"Thank you for helping me do my job of helping my clients. I work with very specific data when researching aircraft options for my clients. Being able to categorize and compare that data is very beneficial to me, which in turn helps my clients. Your software program helps me do that, thank you!"
-- Jack R. Arnold, President, JR Arnold Consulting LLC, Fort Wayne, IN |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis quickly became a valuable tool for some of Pilatus' strong sales
people. The typical business aircraft buyer in this category is very sophisticated, and the economic
evaluation among alternative investments is a standard part of the comparison process.
AircraftCostAnalysis is a very handy way to present the aircraft ownership picture."
-- Angelo Fiataruolo, former CEO of Pilatus Business Aircraft |
|
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis is a simple but yet extremely sophisticated tool in making fact-based decisions. Both the input and report elements are very comprehensive and, therefore, the final cost model provided by SLM reflects a more realistic picture of each purchase scenario than those yielded by other similar programs on the market. Sam constantly updates his program with current tax infomation. Also, Sam is extremely responsive with questions and often responds late in the evening or over the weekend. The SLM AircraftCostAnalysis is a must buy."
-- Craig Miller, President, AirLogic Consulting, San Rafael, CA |
 |
|
"Your AircraftCostAnalysis has proven to be invaluable in our presentations to
prospective buyers. It’s extremely intuitive and dynamic. The flexibility of the program enables us to
vary our presentation to fit each of our client’s specific operational scenarios. Your on-going effort
to continually upgrade and improve the program has yielded a very useful program for us. Thanks for
making the program available. It’s really a proven helpful tool in our business. Best of luck for
continued success."
-- Paul "Mac" Langston, Chairman & CEO, Flightline Group Inc., Tallahassee, FL |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis is a powerful program which provides a realistic view of the cost to own and operate/rent ones own airplane. Sam has done a great job of evaluating the information that one needs to make informed decisions regarding aircraft ownership. He is also prompt in answering questions should you have any questions regarding the operation of his program."
-- Kent Taylor, President, Taylor Ag Services Inc., Watford City, ND |
 |
|
"Sam: A quick note to tell you how pleased we are with your software. As our company's
CFO, I spend many hours developing spreadsheets and analyzing financial data, such as after tax returns
on aircraft ownership, lease back profitability, etc. Your software not only saves me time, but presents
the financial information in a professional and understandable manner. Thank you for all your hard work.
You have a great product."
-- Peter Messina, C.P.A., T-Bird Aviation Inc., West Chicago, IL |
 |
|
"Just a short note to let you know how pleased we are with AircraftCostAnalysis. We
operate various types of private jets and from time to time are asked to compare different types of
ownership options for our current clients and potential clients. The calculator, the sharp pencil and
the spreadsheets have become tools of the past. Your software provides the efficiency and the
professional approach necessary in presenting multiyear financial models. Your ongoing support has been
invaluable, especially for individuals like me that have limited computer skills. Thank you for your
patience."
--Jim Hausch, President, Russell Aviation Services, Inc., Sarasota, FL |
 |
|
"Your program has made the difference between getting a large contract and looking like
an amateur! The program provides a quick, easy, and, most of all, accurate way of budgeting all the
expenses that go into operating an airplane, no matter how large. Sam has spent hours with me to show me
the different powerful tools that his program offers. The budget presents easy to understand information
that has impressed me. I have attempted for many years to provide an accurate and easy to understand
budget to our clients, but there was always an unexpected line item left out. SLM's program eliminates
any surprise."
-- Ennio Staffini, President, Aeromanagement Group, Annapolis, MD |
 |
|
"In 1981, I began providing cash flow analyses for prospective business aircraft purchasers. Many hours were spent on a single analysis due to the many "non-standard" variables required to provide a customized solution for an important client. Sam Miller has created a simple, comprehensive, and user-friendly answer to providing custom financial analyses for the business aircraft industry. This tool has allowed me to concentrate on the needs of my customers and provide them with a professional and rapid response to the numerous "what ifs" required to ensure the appropriate aircraft travel solution. Thanks Sam for a job well done!"
-- J. Michael McMillan, Tri J Capital, Aledo, TX |

"Sam Miller wrote the book on aviation cost analysis. He developed his analytical
approach while at Cessna Aircraft selling Citations to major businesses. Since then his methods have
been adopted by almost everyone in the industry. I have used them in all of the aviation marketing
organizations I have run. They are simply the most accurate and comprehensive cost analyses for aircraft
ownership and operation available today."
-- Roy H. Norris, former Chairman-CEO of Mooney Aerospace Group, Ltd.
and former President of Raytheon Aircraft |
 |
|
"After conducting much research on the various aircraft financial modeling programs
available we selected AircraftCostAnalysis and have been extremely satisfied with our choice. Sam Miller
is very customer oriented and is tenacious when it comes to product support. If we ever have any
questions regarding the program, Sam gets us an answer in a timely manner. Other organizations should
follow his lead when it comes to 'service after the sale'."
-- Saul B. Thompson, President, Aviation Advisor Inc., Antioch, IL |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis is a very powerful, easy to use tool. Even as a relatively new
user, I find the navigation and input very easy to accomplish. The report information is succinctly
presented and easy to understand. I especially appreciate Sam Miller's constant pursuit to keep the
model up to date as things change. As an example, the Bonus Depreciation benefit is easily illustrated
using this software. I also appreciate Sam's personalized attention and his total focus on supporting
the product after the sale."
-- Craig Allison, Manager Light Helicopter Sales, Bell Helicopter Textron, Fort Worth,
TX |
 |
|
"Thanks for making Eagle Creek Aviation aware of the AircraftCostAnalysis program. I've
been attempting to construct a similar program for the last several years with little success. We're
very impressed with the flexibility and dexterity of the program. It has been very beneficial to our
aircraft sales, fractional sales and aircraft management business units. The SLM AircraftCostAnalysis is
the paragon for aircraft sales, tax, financial and management aids."
-- Matthew Hagans, President, Eagle Creek Aviation Services, Indianapolis, IN |
 |
|
"I wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your outstanding support over the years. Your aircraft modeling program has been an invaluable aid and I recommend it as a required tool for any flight department or sales organization requiring the most comprehensive aviation analysis available. More importantly, you have always been available to support and update your product which is the benchmark of every great company."
-- Mark Schweibold, Premier Jet Aviation LLC, Brownsburg, IN |
 |

"Sam's
program has been a wonderful asset to our aircraft sales and management
program. His program accurately and completely details the cost of
aircraft ownership in a way that is presentable to each customer whatever their
knowledge of aircraft ownership. Without his program, I would certainly
be at severe disadvantage when proposing aircraft ownership to my
customers. As I am writing this message, it has been a year since I
purchased this program. My computer that it was stored on crashed, and
Sam was gracious enough to send another copy to me at the eleventh hour....
free of charge, so I could be prepared for a meeting with a potential customer
the next morning. His customer support is truly legendary!"
-- Brooks Pettit, General Manager, Kansas Air Center, Topeka, KS |
 |
|
"Perhaps the finest aircraft sales tool on the market today; essential for
pre-qualifying clients and establishing a "no-surprise" relationship which allows the purchaser to
accurately access not only what it costs to get into an aircraft, but, more importantly, what it costs
to get out."
-- Frank Tammen, President, HighPoint Aviation, Fresno, CA |

"Sam Miller's Aircraft Cost Analysis tool has been a
great addition to the resources Duncan Aviation utilizes when assisting
customers with their purchase decisions. It has allowed us to more
thoroughly educate our clients on how their aircraft purchase options
compare, and provide them with a better estimate of what their total costs
of ownership will be. The reports that Sam provides are professional and
better prepare the customer when consulting with their own financial
advisors. As an added benefit, at Duncan Aviation we have been able to use
Sam's software program to help our customers who are considering making
investments in equipment installations or major refurbishments on their
existing aircraft. As these projects can often run in the millions of
dollars, customers appreciate the ability to analyze how the total cost of
an upgrade compares to purchasing a different airplane. Thank you Sam for
developing a great product!"
-- Andy Biller, Aircraft Marketing Services, Duncan
Aviation, Lincoln, NE |

"The SLM modeling software is extremely thorough and complete. It helps us build
realistic operational aircraft budgets."

The SLM program has saved us countless hours of preparation and our clients have been impressed with the depth of cost data we are able to provide them."
-- David Browne, CEO, JetLink, Atlanta, GA |
 |
|
"I have used many different programs and spreadsheets to do cost and cash flow analysis
for our customers. Your program brings all of those together in one easy to use template. After about 30
minutes, I was able to produce meaningful information to put in front of my clients to get the deal
closed."
-- Guy Hill, Jr., Hill Aircraft & Leasing Corporation, Atlanta, GA |
 |
|
"Not only a must for managing aircraft in today's P & L packed environment, but a great
selling tool that every aircraft salesman requires, can understand, and use to close more deals."
-- Samuel S. Baker, Vice President, Atlantic Aero, Inc., Greensboro, NC |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis gives us great credibility when we present highly professional
cost comparisons and financial analysis to prospective customers. It allows us to move toward a buy
decision quickly without much "I have to check with my accountant and see" objections. I put off the
purchase of AircraftCostAnalysis a long time because I was intimidated by its apparent complexity. What
a mistake! The two-page tutorial instantly led me step by step to a ten-minute understanding about how
to effectively use the software. I now find it quick and easy to produce detailed financials for any
sale. Thanks Sam!"
-- Stephen T. Wilson, Sioux Falls, SD |
Stephen T. Wilson |
|
"In reference to AircraftCostAnalysis, I can honestly say it is well worth the cost. In
today's competitive environment if you don't have the tools necessary for accurate analysis, you will be
viewed as inefficient and unprofessional. I initially had questions regarding the program. Mr. Miller
was able to quickly answer my concerns and was able to exhibit his knowledge regarding this field.
Additionally, you came away with the feeling that he was more interested is assisting you rather than in
selling you! I would recommend the program to anyone that needs pertinent information for aircraft
specific missions."
-- Addie Fanguy, Regional Vice-President/GM, Million Air New Orleans, LA |
 |
|
"The AircraftCostAnalysis software is far superior to anything in the industry. The
detail and flexibility are outstanding, and it allows our customers to see the larger picture in one
simple and concise report. However, all other attributes considered, it is Sam’s support of his product
and his genuine interest in our satisfaction that truly sets this product apart."
-- Don Starling, President, Texas Aero Aircraft Sales Group, Waco, TX |
 |
|
"I would very much like to compliment and thank you on the AircraftCostAnalysis Program
that we recently acquired. After using the program for the past few weeks, I found myself wondering how
I ever managed to sell aircraft without it in the past. It is truly a remarkable tool that I am putting
to great use on a daily basis. Your program enabled me to sell a new aircraft last week, my client was
most impressed by the comprehensive numbers that I was able to generate which were of great help in
assessing his requirements. I now use your program for each presentation that I submit and it
works......! I hope to close another sale by the end of next week...thanks to the AircraftCostAnalysis."
-- Allen Hoyt, Western Aircraft Inc., Boise, ID |
 |
|
"Until purchasing AircraftCostAnalysis, I didn't have a program that was customized to reflect the real numbers for cost of operation. AircraftCostAnalysis is a great tool that produces meaningful costs. I wish I had known about it years ago, as it has paid for itself many times over already."
-- Partick Cutbirth, President, DelMar Jet LLC, Del Mar, CA |
 |
|
"Sam Miller has produced a most valuable model. Now, one can project operating costs
and profits with a precision not seen before. Sales professionals and their customers alike will benefit
from its use."
-- Richard N. Holbert, President, Central Flying Service, Little Rock, AR |
 |
|
"I must congratulate you on the quality and details of the program. The program was
up-dated to incorporate the new tax rules which has helped tremendously. My sales staff is using the
program to show flying schools and aircraft leaseback investors the advantages of leasing and purchasing
a new training aircraft."
-- Mathieu Heintz, President, Aircraft Manufacturing & Development Company Inc.,
Eastman, GA |
 |
|
"Prior to purchasing your program we were attempting to perform a cost analysis for our
clients using our own system. While our system was somewhat workable, it lacked enough detail to make it
really meaningful, and it was really tedious. I dreaded each new RFP.
"Now, we can personalize presentations for each client in a flash! We can do 'what if'
scenarios, and answer questions before they are even asked.
"A brilliant sales tool!"
-- John Disney, Sr. Vice President, JetLease, Beachwood, OH |
 |
|
"The individuals that purchase and fly the Pilatus PC12 are very informed business
people. I would say that the Pilatus sells itself to the pilot in almost everyone. However, the tax
issues that accompany a large aircraft purchase can be the deciding factor in many cases. Sam's analysis
is very straight forward, extremely thorough, and presented in a format in which anyone can understand.
His program has become a valuable tool for our Pilatus sales efforts in the Midwest and we have had
tremendous success because of it. Sam has also been very helpful and his years of experience in the
aviation industry are quite evident in everything he does. Thanks much Sam--two thumbs up!"
-- Don Peterson, Pilatus Sales Specialist, Kansas City Aviation Center, Olathe, KS |
 |
|
"Of the multiple six figures we spend annually on outside services backing up our
aircraft management and sales divisions' marketing efforts, the highest return on investment comes from
the AircraftCostAnalysis programs from SLM, Inc. They speak our customers' language, are easily
understood and presented by our sales people, and at the same time provide us management tools to
accurately measure results from these business lines. Sam Miller's knowledge, real world expertise, and
30+ years of hands-on industry experience are written all over this very useful and user-friendly
product."
-- Jim Markel, Chairman & CEO, Apex Aviation Corporation, Concord/Napa/Santa Rosa, CA |
 |
|
"I have looked over your spreadsheet for the different operating cost info on the
lease-back. Finally, I think we have a tool that will greatly help us sell lease-back aircraft. We will
keep you informed on our luck. Thank you for giving us this program, this will look great to a bean
counter."
-- J.B. Williams, President, Air Care Inc., Rocky Mount, NC |
 |
|
"We have used Sam Miller's program for more than a year now with great success. Once
you get past the aircraft buyer's emotional motivations you must give them accurate financial forecasts.
That's when I turn to Sam's program. Sure, it makes me look smarter, but it greatly aids the buyer in
making an informed decision which avoids surprises after the sale. Ultimately, I expect the greatest
contribution of 'Aircraft Cost Analysis' to be in the form of repeat sales and solidified relationships
with my clients."
-- Peter Anderson, President, Galvin Flying Service,
Seattle, WA |

"Just a quick note to say how pleased Front Range Aviation, LLC has been with the AircraftCostAnalysis program from SLM. We use it often as a valuable tool to provide our customers with accurate assessments to how different aircraft and various forms of aircraft ownership options work for their particular situations. Being effective is a result of being informed. Thank you for helping us achieve that objective and for being available when we need to talk. Your customer support is not unnoticed."
-- Jim Riner, Front Range Aviation LLC, Castle Rock, CO |
 |
|
"Thank you for providing an excellent program to present cost analysis to both our
customers and ourselves! I've used other programs and developed programs myself, but none come close to
the standard you have set. Your experience has allowed you to create a program that should be used by
every serious dealer in the industry. Equally important is the program's ease of use and the outstanding
customer support you provide. Your program is awesome!"
-- Edward Biggio, Aviation Dream Works, Scottsdale, AZ |
 |
|
"The SLM Aircraft Cost Analysis has now replaced the old spreadsheets we have used for
years. Your software tool provides a professional aid to explain operating costs and tax scenarios of an
aircraft for any potential aircraft buyer, management client or simply annual projections for a current
client. The software and its developer, Sam Miller, have been very thorough in layout and start-up
process. I highly recommend this software to any company or individual. Keep up the good work Sam!"
-- Scott Beale, President/CEO, Flightworks Inc., Kennesaw, GA |
 |

"AircraftCostAnalysis is a very useful instrument for in-depth analyses of aviation services. It is straightforward and quite easy to use. The tax calculation is a very important feature as well, giving me the confidence that results are reliable and up-to-date. Another positive aspect is that it is based on the Microsoft Excel platform, inheriting all its features such as output commonality. Very practical!"
-- José Ricardo Marques Rego, Corporate Market, Embraer, San Paulo, Brazil |

"New Avex is active in the sale of new high end single engine Turbo Prop aircraft. We
are selling these aircraft to sophisticated individuals, particularly in the financial arena. Being able
to present the kind of information that bears the scrutiny of our buyers and more importantly their
accountants, lends credibility to me as an Aircraft Sales Person. We find ourselves transferring from
the role of Seller to Consultant quickly using these tools, and once we are in the role of consultant,
we are able to manage our transactions more closely. I recommend AircraftCostAnalysis to anyone who is
serious about selling high end equipment, the information that one is able to provide using the program
is the kind of data that our buyers are looking for, by being able to supply the data, we keep control
on our deals. I would gladly act as a reference for you and your product."
-- Terry Winson, President, AVEX, Inc., Camarillo, CA |

and the resulting comprehensive outputs give me the tools to present a professional and concise cost
analysis. The wide range of rental, leaseback, and management scenarios available appear to fit all of

thanks for your great after purchase support."

"Just a brief note to tell you how pleased and happy I am with your software. Your attention to detail is outstanding and your follow-up customer contacts truly helped our company. I sincerely appreciate the hard work you put into your products and I'm convinced that your experience over the past 35 years in the aviation business has helped me and will continue to assist me in solving complicated problems. Honestly, I'm considering contracting your services for some other spreadsheet applications. Thank you again for your courtesy, your great sense of humor and the flawless manner in which you've helped us utilize 'spreadsheet solutions.' Great job!"

"We formerly used a product that we had produced locally. It was created in "Excel" and
was not user friendly unless you happened to be very knowledgeable in the use of "Excel" spreadsheets.
It also lacked flexibility. The AircraftCostAnalysis program is so user friendly and so complete that it
takes just a few minutes to prepare a very accurate and professional presentation. We now use it as an
integral part of our sales presentations. It makes a presentation sophisticated enough for accountants
and simple enough to be understood by the layman."
-- Guy Wiggins, VP Aircraft Sales, Executive Beechcraft, St Louis, MO |

"Sam Miller has developed an outstanding analytical tool that has saved us hundreds of
hours in programming and delivered a much better product than we could have built ourselves. Having
worked at both Gulfstream and Cessna with their outstanding Sales Engineering departments, I can vouch
for Sam and the quality of his product. In addition to Sam’s product, we were so impressed with his
customer service and response that we used his sale of the software to Guardian Jet as a case study in
our internal training program. It has been a pleasure dealing with Sam and working with the software."
-- Michael Dwyer, President, Guardian Jet, Guilford CT |

"Sam, the cost analysis program is great! After using it only a few days I've already
provided three clients with reports and they immediately saw the benefit. Thanks."

"As aviation and legal consultants to private air travelers, we analyze a full menu of

charter and whole aircraft--in a way that our clients can understand and rely upon."
-- James D. Butler, Chief Executive Officer, Shaircraft Solutions, Bethesda, MD |
 |
|
"AircraftCostAnalysis is unsurpassed as the best software I have ever seen or used. The ease of importing information and the attention to every detail is incredible. Additionally, Sam's desire to teach me the program and for me to learn the program was his #1 goal. I have decided to run an aircraft analysis for each of my clients. This will not only allow me to show my client I am well educated in aircraft sales, brokering and consulting, but have a keen knowledge of aircraft tax and depreciation. It is an excellent sales and management tool. From start to finish, this cost analysis program is worth it's weight in gold. Thanks for all of your hard work."

"Finally, in Aviation's 99th year, someone has come up with a comprehensive means of
truly determining what it costs to operate an aircraft--and to calculate the potential for profit--and
to see exactly what the cash flow will be! If I had owned this tool 34 years ago, my business would have
been much more profitable! Kudos to you, Sam Miller!"

"Thank for giving us a chance to comment on your AircraftCostAnalysis Software. For
several years, we were attempting to perform a cost analysis for our customers using our own program.
While our program was workable, we did not have the detail our customers desired. With the
AircraftCostAnalysis program, we are able to provide our customers with valuable information very
quickly. We have also found the program very easy to use. Again, thank you Sam for a fine product."
-- Bill N. Colbert, Director of Operations, Colemill Enterprises, Nashville, TN |
