Westwind MOL

Dear Westwind Owners and Operators;
We are a little more than six weeks from the Westwind Maintenance and Operations conference scheduled to be held in SanAntonio, Texas May 16-18, 2010.As of the date of this posting we only have 10 attendees registered for the conference. With the lack of response, we have unfortunately made the decision to cancel the conference. In March 2007 when Worthington Aviation took over worldwide support from General Dynamics we made a commitment to the Westwind community to provide the support necessary to keep the fleet flying well into the future. In the last 3 years we have had two Maintenance and Operations Conferences. The attendance has averaged about 45 people. With a fleet size of 239 aircraft this is less than a 25 percent representation of the aircraft in operation. The continued future of the aircraft is a partnership between the Owners, Operators and the Support organization. Working together we can extend the life and value of the aircraft in an economic, efficient and effective way. The key to a collaborative approach is feedback which starts from you the owners and operators of the aircraft. We cannot provide the maximum level of service and support without your direction. It was our hope that the M & O conferences would be the perfect forum to exchange ideas and get your feed back and to develop plans together to best support the fleet. We are asking for your help. What would you like to see as a forum to exchange ideas and give your opinion to improve the value and marketability of the Westwind? Your input is necessary to keep the Westwind flying longer. Please take a moment to email us at, Westwind@worthingtonav.com tell us what you think; we would like all feedback whether positive or negative.
We look forward to hearing from you

Regards
Dale Printy
