OUR MISSION

To provide the highest quality products while being committed to the principles of integrity, respect, trust, and the pursuit of excellence.

OUR CULTURE

Our culture is simple: we have a great admiration for the general aviation community and its people.
We care about people — our customers, vendors and employees; doing the right thing by them is what we are all about!
We trust people - When you trust people, people trust you. We would never break trust with anyone.
We think long term - We think about our reputation, what this business will be like when our children are ready to take the reins twenty years from now, and how to continue to exceed our customer’s expectations.

We are having a lot of fun with it and can’t believe that it’s been over a year that we’ve had it. My wife and I have said many times that we made a very good decision and we’ve told quite a few people how great of an experience that we had with you and your team.

Love the airplane! I’ve got my final checkride scheduled next Wednesday, and then I’ll have my PPL! Beyond ready to take some fun trips with my daughter!!

Couldn’t be happier with the purchase! I know her quite well, I’m right at 76hrs flight time thus far

Dr. Kevin J. Anderson

When I decided to sell my aircraft, Van Bortel came to mind. Your reputation is well deserved.

I have never sold an aircraft before on my own. Dealing with you made me feel confident about the process.
Thank you kindly for making this an easy and smooth transaction.

My family and I are absolutely loving the new airplane. I didn't realize how much more we had been flying it than the old one until I noticed I'm about due for an oil change. I did a lot more mountain sightseeing over the Winter than I ever would have in Warrior. And we've done a couple decent cross countries. We flew down to Rapid City a few weeks ago to check out Mount Rushmore.

I wanted to send a quick note regarding N524TM (now known as C-GTDR). I’ve had a great first few months with the aircraft, have put over 50 hours on it and am really enjoying it so far. Thank-you for your help and customer service a few months back. Please keep in touch.

Looking forward to the next one in a few years!

No snags along the way, it was shockingly smooth sailing the whole route from CYXU to Cape May, and then 6 hours over the ocean.

I just want to thank you so much for everything you've done along the way, in helping me above and beyond

Thank you for the wonderful experience in the purchase of our Cardinal 177B.

The past couple weeks has been a pleasure working with you, your daughter, George and Barry.

The way Van Bortel does business is an exemplary model others should follow.

Rob & Beja

Once again, thank you for your help with the sale of my TTx! Consistent with my purchase experience in 2015, everything was handled fairly, professionally, and without drama. It is very easy to see why you have such a loyal customer base. I look forward to dealing with you and Howard in the future, and will continue to recommend you at every opportunity.
