"[I liked the] detailed history, various aspect of [hovercraft] operations/improvement over time. "

"I really enjoyed the training. It was very well packaged, intensive and dedicated. I admire so much your entrepreneurial dedication in ascertaining that the practical aspect of the training was mastered by the trainee until you were comfortable with the trainee's ability of comprehension."

"For about two days, I felt like my car was moving sideways, I have adjusted now."

"Thanks again for the VERY informative [hovercraft pilot training] class. It was a pleasure meeting you and obviously you made a real impression on myself and Brandon. I look forward to working with you and relying on your expertise."

"Just to add to the story, both Eric and I were in the cockpit when we hovered the aircraft the first time. The training you provided enabled us to understand the sensations around us and gave us a better situational awareness as the systems where energized."

"I thought I'd let you know I performed the first "taxi" test of our hybrid airship demonstrator on its four air cushion landing pads. With the four vectored propulsors, I skated, sidestepped, backed, and did 180 degree reverses with solid control in 5 knot winds on concrete taxiways and on the runway. The training you provided Tim Blunck and I last June was a tremendous help. I'll see if program management can send you a video clip as soon as it's releasable."
