Golf Champion Appears On Behalf Of HBC at Dubai
In Dubai to participate in the upcoming Race to Dubai Golf
Classic, Sergio Garcia appeared today at the Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation (HBC) Chalet at the Dubai Airshow. Garcia, who turned
professional in 1999 and plays on the U.S. Professional Golfers
Association (PGA) and PGA European tours, signed autographs and
discussed his own experiences as the owner of a Hawker 4000, which
was delivered to him earlier this year.

"Sergio knows something about selecting the right tool for the
job," said Sean McGeough, vice president, International Sales. "On
his way to his seven PGA Tour and eight PGA European Tour wins, the
standout shot-maker from Spain has had to decide which golf club to
use on numerous occasions. He applied the same logic to his
selection of a Hawker 4000 business jet and is very happy with the
results."
HBC says the composite-construction Hawker 4000 is growing in
popularity in Europe and the Middle East. The say Garcia's presence
in Dubai is an example of how the long-range, reliable performance
of the aircraft can meet even the most demanding of travel
schedules. With his Hawker 4000, Garcia was able to participate in
the recent HSBC Championship in Shanghai and the UBS Championship
in Hong Kong, and then travel to Dubai with plenty of time to get
acclimated and prepare for the upcoming Dubai World Championship
later this week.
"I couldn't expect to compete at a championship level on the
golf course if I didn't have a championship level airplane to get
me there," Garcia said. "I am a firm believer in the value of
Hawker products because with my previous airplane, a Hawker 850XP,
I never missed a tournament. This made it a simple decision to
purchase a Hawker 4000 and it too is proving to be an exceptional
airplane. In addition to its comfort and performance, my lofty
expectations continue to be surpassed by the support and
customer-centered focus of the company."
