"I have always been pleased, as you know, with your work. Your attention to detail and conservative approach to doing things right are important to me. I like the fact also that you have been around a while (I'm not saying you are old) and have vast experience, yet still work hard to keep up to date via continued schooling and computer technology."

-Larry W. Barton, Janesville WI

"My association with Pat Ripp dates back several years while we were both employed at an FBO at the Rock County airport. I was a flight instructor and Pat was the director of maintenance.
"As a flight instructor aircraft reliability and availability directly affected my ability to earn a living. Safety of flight issues were always immediately addressed before the next flight. Maintenance issues that were not safety related were usually taken care of by the next day which often meant Pat spend time after hours to get the job done. His willingness to make the extra effort truly was admirable.
"We as pilots have to be able to trust the people who keep our airplanes airworthy. We have to rely on their technical skills, appreciate the experience they have gained over the years, and have complete confidence in their professional integrity. Pat Ripp exemplifies these core values."
