Subject: Reference in the case of Team RV
It is my pleasure to provide this letter of reference. Team RV has performed at DeKalb Peachtree Airport's Good Neighbor Day Air Show and Open House for the last five years. Team RV has handled all aspects of our relationship professionally and in a timely manner. Specifically for event coordinators I offer the following.
1. Every air show needs a headliner act. I have watched Team RV develop over the years and I'm now proud to say that this team has done it. An absolutely spectacular performance. If there is one act the folks talk about weeks after the show, it's Team RV.
2. Extremely easy to do business with Team RV – Nothing frustrates an event coordinator more than waiting for a contract, waiting for N-numbers, and waiting for pilot information for the show waiver etc. With Team RV's single point of contact I can state unequivocally that I have received everything I've requested on time and in the exact format needed.
3. Superb flying – In my opinion what differentiates a good formation act with great formation act is the amount of time the team spends at show center We've all seen formation acts pass from right to left and then, three or four minutes later the formation passes from left to right and so on. With Team RV that just doesn't happen. By integrating their 4-ship aerobatic flights with their large formation flight there is always something happening in front of the crowd . This show is literally nonstop excitement, and Team RV meets my definition of a great formation act.
4. Team RV works the crowd – Most performers spend time after their performance signing autographs and working the crowd and Team RV is no exception. However, with 12 pilots working the crowd, the autograph and photo opportunities for guests are unmatched.
5. Team RV is professional. There is something unique and special about Team RV: from the minute I start engaging with them it's clear they want to helps us make our show the best it can be. When hiring Team RV, I don't just get the world's largest air show team, I get a group of professionals that are committed to me. They provide a public relations officer to drive and coordinate media and sponsor rides, provide logistics support, bring a crew chief to support the fuel and smoke efforts, and engage with my entire team on the ground in a way that makes them part of the success of the show.
6. Performance options - Team RV brings a host of opportunities for me that help me schedule a well rounded show. They provide opening ceremonies fly-bys, a circle the jumpers 5 ship that cannot be seen anywhere else, an emotional missing man formation, a teaser act, and of course the big show..
From their fuel sipping airplanes to their extremely reasonable fee I can assure you that Team RV will provide great value for your event. Team RV continues to exceed my expectations year after year. If I can provide further information please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Mike Van Wie, A.A.E.
