Hi all, You guys did it again! The Meyers was invited to display at the National Aviation Heritage Invitational at the Reno Air Races. There were unbelievably nice airplanes of all types but my airplane won the best contemporary example. This was a great surprise but super cool. Comments were all positive and most of them were amazed at the great avionics upgrade and panel, the beautiful interior and the terrific paint job. In fact, a restoration fellow from the Smithsonian was particularly complimentary as he inspected every detail of the airplane. Thanks again for all your help in the restoration.

I am not exactly sure where to begin but a good place would be to offer a sincere thanks for the work all of you did. From the very beginning of this project, I wanted an Arizona company involved and it became clear early on that it would be you. Your reputation made it an easy choice as did your efforts to work with us. From beginning to end, this has been such a great process. From updates to phone calls and videos….your collective efforts turned out an absolutely stunning airplane….just stunning. We have received a ton of compliments on the airplane already. This endeavor was never about me getting to fly a cool 1950’s jet. It has always been about the men and women of the Arizona Air National Guard: past, present, and future. It is a symbol of their service to state and nation and you guys were such a big part of that. Take some pride in knowing the hard work will touch many. It really was a great process and I do deeply appreciate your collective efforts. Please thank everyone who put hands on her…from beginning to end. You guys ROCK!

At AirVenture 2015, many people asked about the great paint job. I told all of them about my excellent experience at Straube's! Burt Rutan loved the workmanship. I appreciate you working with me to get the touch-up done on the Starship and completed on time. Great staff, excellent work and fair pricing. I will recommend Straube's to other aircraft owners and I will return in the future.

It was a pleasure working with the crew at Straube's! Great customer Service!

I love the staff. They went above and beyond with helping me coordinate the transportation issues I was having. The air-tractor looked great. I can't wait to get the next one back.

The aircraft looked great and the customer service was great!

Everyone did a great job! You can tell they all took pride in their work, every single person I dealt with.

Jim, Thanks for the great service and beautifully painted airplane. Business with your company was really a great experience. I appreciate the working relationship with you and your sons on the project. The paint looks truly outstanding! It all blends well (paint, stripe, etc.) has an excellent glossy finish, and I’m really pleased beyond words with the result. Thanks again.

Rick, Thank you for the awesome paint job and for putting up with me for the last 2 days. I tried not to be too picky. I appreciate all your help and service and that of all your workers too! I will show it off and continue to send you work in the future. Thanks again

Hi Rick, Mary and entire staff at Straube’s Aircraft Service. Departed your shop and Kingman today at 1500…. arrived back in Camarillo, CA (262 NM) about 1.5 hrs later. To say I was VERY IMPRESSED with your operation is an understatement!)! Everyone I encountered in the ’shop’ from your son Sean, John the A&P, and the young lady laying out striping on wheel pants, were the friendliest, most professional individuals I have ever met. You guys treated me wonderfully, were helpful in providing tools I had forgotten to pack, and answered all my questions without hesitation. I am still amazed and in awe of the entire operation/production I witnessed today … everyone working their ‘tails’ off and getting it done! The planes that were outside on the ramp which you recently painted were remarkable works of art and a true testament to the pride you guys take in painting aircraft. Rick…. you have a great bunch of folks at your shop, ‘taking care of business’. I’m sure you know this. I just wanted you to know that I am extremely pleased so far with your service! And thanks again to the guys who went right out and covered my aircraft with plastic to keep it protected while other aircraft were being worked on in the area. This customer really appreciates those small attentions to detail….Please convey to all those who assisted me today in dis-assembling my aircraft….I “THANK YOU”!

That looks AWESOME! Who knows, maybe it will win an award or trophy at one of the many Fly-Ins I plan to attend this summer. I’ll bet a lot of your customers enjoy seeing such a great work of art in progress as they walk through your hangar. I can’t say enough how much I like the way this has turned out!!! Un-freaking believable! BTW… I told Rick he could put ‘Straube Aircraft Painting, Kingman, AZ’ on the right side of the empennage under the RT horizontal stabilizer. Did he? If so, I’d love to see a photo, (hint, hint) I can’t tell you “THANKS” enough times, Mary. I absolutely owe you for all the effort you have gone to keeping me “in the loop” as far as this paint project is concerned.

Great to work with Sean and his team. They did exactly what they said they were going to do and provided us with a great end product. Enjoyed working with them all and will definitely recommend them.

You guys are awesome! Plane looks great and the quality is great.

Above and Beyond!

You guys are the best!!

I chose Straube's to paint my Cessna 185 and decided to fly 1,100 nm due to the quality. I believed they could deliver. I was very impressed with their communication, organization, and the final product. There are cheaper paint options but I'm convinced that you get what you pay for and they delivered excellent value and the confidence that I would get an excellent result. In aviation, few projects go according to schedule and they delivered on the overall result, timeliness and price that I expected. Would absolutely come back again despite the distance from my home airport. Excellent job!

The detail work was excellent. There was one small area that needed touched up and when mentioned, the staff was very responsive. I would recommend Straube's to anyone. Thanks for the GREAT JOB!

I was impressed with the email communication and progress photo's enabling me to keep management informed of the status of our project.

Heather was always pleasant to talk to and went above and beyond helping us, not only with the painting but setting up other scheduled maintenance that we needed while the plane was with them. If there was a delay she explained fully what the situation was and what they were doing to correct it and keep the project moving forward.

Jeremiah, I wanted to reach out to you and compliment you and your company on the fine work on the T-33 at our Glasgow, MT museum. As I write this, you are not done yet, but getting close to being done, (I drive by each day). I can't tell you how many years of negotiation and convincing the powers that have been and the powers that be that working with a professional service, such as your company is/was the way to go on this project. Fortunately, Betty Stone understood that and was instrumental in helping make this happen. Beautiful work!! It is really neat to see the old bird coming back to all its glory & a plan conceived a long time ago, finally coming to fruition! The canopy really makes it look amazing! Thank you!
