In a bittersweet moment RANS Aircraft company owner and CEO Randy Schlitter announced the promotion of a new company president and a reduced role for himself. Deflecting the solemn event with humor the sentiment was palpable, Randy announced Tony Dopita was stepping into the role of company President stating that Tony was a capable captain having been an employee for 20+ yrs and knew the business from the ground up. Tony accepted the position graciously, describing his time with RANS beginning literally as a janitor and ending up President.
