Piper Helps Bring ANN's Special
Coverage of Oshkosh 2008 To YOU -- Oshkosh Booths 79-82 and
72-75
From Cubs to Meridians
-- and BEYOND... Piper makes each and every aircraft they
build their own. From the Arrow-inspired Warrior trainer... to the
Cherokee Six... to the Seminole and Aztec twins... Pipers are easy
to spot on the ramp, and even easier to find pilots simply raving
about their planes. And then there's Piper's business-class singles
-- available in piston form (Matrix and Mirage) or turbine
(Meridian) that are two of the sweetest singles to fly out
there.
And what's this? Talk of even more...?
PIPERJET!
Piper Aircraft, Inc. is headquartered in Vero
Beach, FL, where its rich legacy is born of 70 years of
unparalleled history, with more than 144,000 aircraft brought to
market and more than 160 models certified. Approximately 90,000 of
those aircraft are still flying and being serviced and supported on
every continent by Piper's 65 service centers, 40 dealers and 2,500
field personnel. Today, Piper is the only general aviation
manufacturer to build and offer aircraft for every general aviation
mission, from trainers and high-performance aircraft for personal
and business use, to turbine-powered business aircraft... and now,
the PiperJet.
When Mr. Piper introduced the Piper Cub in 1937, he had a dream.
He felt that everyone should fly. And he believed that Piper could
provide everyone with that freedom.
Still keeping his dream alive today, Piper is the only general
aviation manufacturer to offer a complete line of aircraft to help
realize the flying dreams of most any pilot. From rugged, reliable
trainers to high-performance turbo-props, Piper creates the highest
quality craft for everyone -- from new pilots to adventure-seekers
to serious business travelers.
ANN is told that "there is a feeling that everyone on Team Piper
shares, a torch that has been passed from generation to generation.
A feeling of wonder, of veneration, of excitement, of personal
commitment to the dream. From the head office to the factory floor,
there is an understanding that we at team Piper are not just making
a thing – we’re making magic. We’re making
freedom. We’re making dreams come true. We’re giving
them wings."
"And that feeling has engendered a deep personal commitment to
quality in everyone here. We know the value of what we make. And
we’re determined to make it the best it can possibly be. We
build quality in every step of the way so our owners are sure of it
in the end. It is our shared passion to ensure that every one of
our customers is totally satisfied with their New Piper
experience.
"That’s why we developed our Standards of Excellence
– a set of guidelines and standards that will help ensure
consistently outstanding treatment of our pilots at every stage of
their Piper experience.
We know we don’t just make airplanes. We create the
freedom of flight. That’s why we give our absolute best to
everything we do."
