Randall,
It was good to talk to you on Saturday. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
As a follow up to our discussion, I am attaching several documents to this email. The
first is a specification document which describes our standard aircraft. Next is a cost
comparison spreadsheet contrasting our Super Goose with the Twin Otter and Caravan on
floats. I am also sending you our standard Deposit agreement which I described to you
over the phone. And last, I am enclosing a couple of brochures for you to share with
whomever you would like. I will follow up with a phone call soon, but please feel free to
contact me directly in the mean time with any feedback.
Regards,
David Dyer Antilles Seaplanes, LLC 1233 Springwood Ave. Gibsonville, NC 27249 T: 800.605.1619 C: 703.928.8295
