The Aéro-Club des Montagnes Neuchâteloises, in Switzerland and based on the airport Les Eplatures (LSGC) in the Jura mountains, was searching for a replacement Archer for his Archer II of 1978.After a long process in Europe and in the USA, we found the right partner with the right plane for us. That nice guy is Matt.
Dealing with Matt was uneventfull and a pleasure, included the inspection that we wanted to be done by Norm Heldmann and Jim Todd in KPOU. The price was right and the airplane in very good condition, as was predicted. Upon inspection by the Swiss aviation authority’s certification branch, the decision was very positive considering that such a nice plane was seldom in the second hand market. We have now flown the plane since 2 monthes and we already love it and are totally satisfied with our purchase. We hearfully recommend Matt to others who try to find the second hand plane fitting tightly to their needs.

We were in the market for a Piper Saratoga and had been looking for months. We found one through Aircraft Sales Inc. It was significantly nicer than any other plane we had seen. An acute attention to detail was employed for “every” aspect of this plane. The exterior, interior, avionics, and engine were perfect and were exactly as advertised. It is like flying a brand new plane! We dealt with Matt Kozub who was one of the best sales people I have ever worked with. He was honest and upfront about everything. He responded to all of our questions very rapidly and honestly. He worked with us in all aspects of the sale and made the experience truly pleasurable. When I purchase another plane regardless of what I am looking for, I will absolutely call Matt again.
Thanks!

Dear Matt,
It’s been a pleasure to work with Matt for months to find the right aircraft for me and make a purchase. His attention to detail and honesty in the transition has been refreshing in a world where that is hard to find. His crew goes the extra mile to make things right and give you a great product at a fair price at the end of the deal. Service after the sale is there also and with there extensive experience & knowledge of the aircraft they refurbished it makes the service a timely experience. Dealing with Matt and Aircraft sales has been a positive experience as one would expect when making the major investment we all do in this great hobby of general aviation. I would highly recommend giving them an opportunity when looking for the right aircraft that suits your needs. It’s worth the trip to PHD and the chili at the diner is awesome!
Sincerely,

I just wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for making my purchase of N4384S an excellent experience. From the time that I first spoke to you it became apparent that you knew what you were doing. You were the only seller that provided me the information I requested timely and completely. Once I was satisfied that the plane would meet my needs I contacted you to make arrangements for a test flight and inspection. You accommodated my schedule and flew the plane to where I would be over the weekend. The test flight and inspection went well. You agreed to fix all “squawks” at your expense and did exactly as you said you would even identifying some “squawks†that were not readily apparent on my test flight relating to a problem with the auto pilot.
You fixed everything and were ready to deliver the airplane and had to call me the day before intended delivery to let me know that you could not deliver it since you were not satisfied with the performance of the autopilot and wanted to send it off to be repaired by an expert repair station. The repair station was running behind but you and your avionics person managed to push it through and the plane was delivered the following weekend.
I have since had the opportunity to fly the plane for approximately 8 hours including one 3 hour cross country and, I am happy to report, the airplane performed flawlessly. I must admit that I was surprised by the professional and courteous treatment I received from your company. It seems that you can’t find anyone who will do business honestly and keep their word anymore. Thanks again. I will definitely be calling you when I purchase my next plane. However, since I expect the Saratoga to live a long life it may be awhile.
Thanks Again!

As the proud and very happy owner of a “NEW” Piper Cherokee 6-260 from Aircraft Sales Inc., I would like to inform anyone reading this that you will not find a more honestly run, integrity driven broker of amazingly reconditioned aircraft anywhere. Hank and Matt Kozub should be recognized and praised for their exceptional enterprise. Their conduct in all aspects of business is perfomed in a manner that is seldomly encountered; and I appreciated the “Whole Process” of purchasing my aircraft. From the first phone call, to me being handed the keys, Matt Kozub treated me like I was his first and last customer. Any question was answered, and any of my concerns were quickly addressed. I was promised that “any” squawks would be fixed prior to the closing. I decided to have an annual inspection performed as my pre-buy and the three or four minor issues were taken care of by A.S.I. as promised. A much more serious squawk was discovered almost a month after the closing. All it took to get it corrected was a phone call to Matt and a half day of my time. I flew back to Ohio, where Matt had his expert staff eliminate the issue in about 3 hours. Hank bought me lunch, and they even filled my fuel tanks as compensation for my trouble. Where else can you find such dedication to excellence? The only aspect of their business that may outshine their conduct is their product. My aircraft is a strong, sound, beautiful, safe machine. I am certain that I would not have found another airplane of equal or better value. Anywhere. I sincerely urge anyone seeking to purchase a refurbished single to just make the call to Aircraft Sales Inc. Your search will end when Matt or Hank answers the phone.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing one of ASI’s refurbished aircraft and I have nothing but praise for Matt and his company. I am a FBO owner, and over the years I have purchased and sold airplanes for myself as well as for customers. I was impressed from the first conversation to the last one. He was refreshingly honest and wanted to tell me all he knew about the TR182 I was interested in. He knew I would be coming from over 1500 miles away and he did not want me to be disappointed, I was not.
When I arrived he had made arrangements for me to do the inspection in the FBO hanger and happily supplied me with any tool I needed. I found the workmanship well above what I was hoping for. I have not seen such a good VALUE in aircraft refurbishment before. I have helped many owners over the years with updating their aircraft and we have refurbished a few ourselves. I can say I found the quality and detail superb and I would recommend if you are looking for a true “turn-key†plane then contact Matt for one of his.

To Whom it May Concern:
In December 2008 I purchased a 1975 Piper Cherokee 6 300, N4384X from ASI. Since I live in Nevada and the plane was in Ohio it just wasn’t in my schedule to go look at the 6 before I purchased it. I had my mechanic talk to Matt and get some detailed information about the plane and felt comfortable enough to buy it sight un-seen based on Matt Kozub and his companys word that the plane was what he said it was. When N4384X arrived in Nevada is was everything Matt said, BEAUTIFUL!! We are really enjoying flying the airplane. I would highly recommend ASI to anyone who is looking to purchase a top quality refurbished aircraft.
Thanks Again Matt!!

In today’s fast paced, get it done quick, hope its right, world, it is truly refreshing to meet people that are still committed to doing things right and treating people fairly. That is definitely the case with the Kozubs and Aircraft Sales and Plan a Plane.
I had the privilege of meeting Matt Kozub when he purchased my Cherokee 6 in August of 2008. From the first conversations and dealings that we had, I could tell that I was talking to someone of character and it was truly a refreshing experience from start to finish.
When Matt purchased my plane (N15578) my partner and I had just purchased an A36. The plane was in excellent condition other than needing new interior. As I learned about Matt’s business, Aircraft Sales and Plan a Plane, I asked him about doing a new interior for us on the Bonanza. Matt quoted us a good fair price and based on the pictures of the planes they had refurbished, we scheduled a time to have him start on ours. When you are talking about a car or maybe even a boat, quality is important, but when you are talking about an airplane, it is vital. Matt’s professionalism and assistance in helping us make this a “better than new” airplane went beyond picking out colors and material. Matt helped us find the best parts and services on replacing plastics, seals and trouble parts. Without their knowledge, expertise and reputation in this business, this project would have undoubtedly cost us THOUSANDS more.
My partner and I have already decided that the next place we purchase will be from Matt and Hank at Aircraft Sales. We would be more than happy to share our experience with anyone, anytime.
Thanks, Matt!

My airplane partner and I decided that, early in our search for a Cherokee 6, we wanted the safest used airplane that our money would buy. Our missions would be long cross county flights with family. Therefore, Garmin 430 was a must, but we also wanted a robust autopilot. However, mostly, we wanted the piece of mind that log books were accurate and that we could trust that engine and prop work could be trusted.
We started our search for an airplane in the usual places; contoller.com, trade-a-plane, aso.com etc. Many planes seemed to be good prospects, based on equipment lists and price. We spent time and money traveling to see a few and were very close to buying one. Yet, we could not get satisfaction on several log book ommissions and walked away from the deal.
Ultimately, when we decided to sign a contract to “rebuild” a C6 with Hank and Matt, it was for piece of mind, not price. With their experience, we new that they could find the right used plane to refurbish at the right price. Because of their business model and volume, they get better pricing on engine work and painting, as well as interior and avionics than we could get on the open market. The end result is a terrific refurb, that flies great, has wonderful IFR and crosscountry capabilities, and is the envy of everyone on the flight line. Matt and Hank have stood by there product in the immediate post- buy period.
My greastest endorsement of ASI and Hank and Matt is that I would buy with them again, if I had to do it over (and plan to buy with them again when I upgrade to a Piper Meridian in a few years!)
Thanks Hank and Matt! You have a great company. You deserve your reputation as the premier restorers of piston singles

Matt,
The Cherokee 6 260 that I purchased from you last week is awesome. You guys did an amazing job, and I have been getting compliments on it all week. Thanks for flying the plane to me and spending the entire day on the prebuy. I look forward to sharing my flying experiences with you.
