"As we look forward to the second half of the year, we anticipate continued strong performance across our product line with a strategic focus on both Europe and Latin America.
"The addition of the class-leading M600 continues to drive revenue growth," Caldecott added. "Additionally the demo tour of Europe and Africa has resulted in better than expected sales, with five aircraft sold today and several more pending. Furthermore, Piper's offering of the only complete trainer product line is helping further augment sales and long-term commitments from some of the world's leading flight training programs."
