Moving Warbirds... Courtesy Aircraft Celebrates AT-6/P-51 Milestone

Still, It Must Be Hard To Part With Each One Of Them...

Over the past 50 years, Courtesy Aircraft Sales tells ANN that it believes it has earned its rep as one of the World Leaders in Warbird Sales. Recently two major milestones have been surpassed with Courtesy Aircraft Sales now having sold 100 North American AT-6s (also known as SNJs or Harvards) and 30 North American P-51 Mustangs in the past decade.

Considering the relative rarity of these ex-military aircraft, this is one accomplishment that comes far and few between. For example, today there are approximately 350 North American AT-6s that are airworthy. Courtesy Aircraft has sold approximately 30% of all airworthy AT-6 aircraft -- and not all have been on the market. Courtesy Aircraft has sold more North American aircraft than any other company besides North American Aviation itself.

Mark Clark, President of Courtesy Aircraft states, "It is a pleasure to be part of the history of these aircraft; I continue to be impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the public for these symbols of freedom."

Courtesy Aircraft was founded in 1957 as a new Cessna aircraft dealership. As years past and business continued to prosper, a new market began to emerge including ex-military trainers, fighters and bombers also known as warbirds. Courtesy Aircraft assists their customers with the aircraft ownership process from start to finish. This includes financing, insurance, training and checkouts as well as ferry and container delivery services worldwide.
