About Texas Piper
Congratulations to our Newest Customers! Happy flying!

Welcome to our Texas Piper Family Chris!

Congratulations again to Chris Hill, new owner of 2007 Mirage N709CH.  Chris took full advantage of Texas Piper’s Step Up program to transition from Saratoga to Mirage in 8 months.  The similarity of the Avidyne glass panel made the flying upgrade to the Mirage easy and the guaranteed trade value of the Step Up program made the financial transition simple.  Chris will continue to use the aircraft for flights around the southwest US but will now be flying in pressurized comfort in the flight-levels.  Pictured with Chris from left to right are: Lisa Giesert-Piper Dealer Development, Bob Kromer-Vice President Piper Sales and Marketing, Chris Hill-Owner, John DeLawyer-Texas Piper, Dorothy Bainter-Piper Order and Delivery. Thanks,
John

 

Welcome to our Texas Piper Family Bob!
Congratulations to Bob Stratton, owner of a new Piper Saratoga II TC with the Garmin G1000 avionics panel.  Previously Bob owned a Cessna 182 and 206, both equipped with the G1000 but chose to upgrade to the Saratoga because of the extra space the aircraft provides and performance offered by the turbo-charged engine.  The transition from high wing to low wing was easy for Bob and he reports the handling characteristics of the TC are stable yet responsive.  Pictured from left to right are: Bruce Cady-Piper Sales, Bob Kromer-VP Sales and Marketing, Bob Stratton-new owner, Lisa Geisert-Piper Parts, Susie Stringfellow-Piper Customer Care, Jim Slayton-Piper Warranty, and John DeLawyer-Texas Piper.  Thank you Bob, we are proud to have you in our Texas Piper Family!
Welcome to our Texas Piper Family Chris!
Texas Piper welcomes our first new customer of 2007: Mr. Chris Hill. In January Chris moved out of his Cessna and into a new Avidyne equipped Saratoga II TC. Chris routinely takes trips into Mexico and enjoys the turbo-charged performance the Saratoga has to offer. A future goal for Chris is to add pressurization on these long trips by moving up to a Mirage through the Texas Piper Step Up Program. Congratulations Chris and welcome aboard!

Welcome to our Texas Piper Family Tim!
Congratulations to Tim Knittig, new owner of N637JD, a 2003 Piper Saratoga II HP. Tim previously flew a fixed gear Saratoga and decided to upgrade to the HP because of the extra speed of retractable gear and the great Garmin avionics panel in N637JD. Thank you Tim and enjoy your new plane!
   
Welcome to our Texas Piper Family Rick!
Congratulations on your new 6XT Rick McWhorter!  A long time customer of Cutter Aviation Rick bought a new Trinidad TB-20 in 2003 but in September 2006 decided to trade up to a new Piper 6XT.  The extra cabin space of the 6XT combined with the increased speed and range offered by the turbo-charged engine was just what Rick needed for his expanding mission profile.  Equipped with an Avidyne glass panel including XM Nexrad weather, TAS600 Traffic system, WX-500 stormscope and CMax approach charts the 6XT has all the right equipment for Rick’s long cross countries.  Pictured with Rick (center) are: Carl Neputti (right) and Rick Pence (left).  Thank you Rick, have fun and tailwinds!

Texas Piper congratulates Wade Coons on the purchase of Archer N87W.  Wade is a student pilot who plans on using the Archer to obtain his Private and Instrument rating.  The handling characteristics of the Archer along with the comfort of air-conditioning, Piper’s complete product line and resale value made the Archer an easy choice.  In the photo from right to left are Wade Coons, Wes Wright-Maintenance Manager from Holley’s Jet Center-the Piper Service Center in Conroe, TX, Lance Easterling-Wade’s Instructor and John DeLawyer-Texas Piper.  Congratulations Wade!

We welcome Gregg Roberts to our Texas Piper Family.  After owning an Archer in the 1980’s Gregg took an 18 year break from flying but recently spread his wings again with the purchase of a 2006 New Piper Archer.  Gregg said his decision to purchase the Archer was based on the quality of construction, fit and finish of the aircraft and New Piper’s Step Up Program that allows an easy transition to larger New Piper’s in the future.  Congratulations Gregg!

 

Alton and Shirley Herring are the proud new owners of 6X N106C. Alton previously owned a 1999 Piper Archer but wanted more speed and space with the simplicity of fixed gear. The new Avidyne panel didn't hurt either and the 6X fit the bill. Alton and Shirley fly to many locations around the US and will enjoy taking the grandkids on trips with them. Congratulations Alton and Shirley! 

Congratulations to Felipe Gonzalez and his son Andres. Felipe's lifelong dream of owning an aircraft has been fulfilled with this brand new 2006 Saratoga II TC. Before purchasing the TC Felipe completed his instrument check ride at West Houston Airport and will now us the aircraft to expand his business and visit clients around the US. Andres a CFI and pilot for Continental Express will also be flying the new TC with Felipe. Thank you Felipe!

 

 

Congratulations to Scott and Irma Brandt who took delivery of this 2006 New Piper Meridian on December 30th, 2005. This is the third new Piper for Scott who started flying in a new Archer and then transitioned to a new Saratoga, followed by a Mirage and finally a new Meridian. The Step Up program offered by Texas Piper allowed Scott to easily transition affordably and safely to each new aircraft.

Thank you Scott and Irma!

Welcome to the Texas Piper family Rowan !
"Congratulations to Rowan Smith on the purchase of his 2005 New Piper 6X. Rowan and his sons are learning to fly their 6X in Houston. Rowan decided a New Piper 6X was right for him because the aircraft is easy to fly yet has the performance and space that will allow him to use the aircraft to travel when he completes his training. Pictured are Rowan and his wife, Charissa accepting their new aircraft at the New Piper factory in Vero Beach."
 
Congratulations Humberto!
"Texas Piper congratulates Humberto Lobo with the purchase of his 2005 New Piper Saratoga II TC. Mr. Lobo owns several aircraft but the Avidyne glass panel, club seating, air-conditioning and turbo-charged performance made the Saratoga II TC the right choice for him and his family. "
