Market research in our company has determined that there is a
market for a small aircraft carrying vacationers and their gear
and overnight baggage between vacation areas in the mountains
of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, California and Nevada as well
as a possible European market. It is expected that there will
be sufficient interest to operate year round. The aircraft should
be capable of delivering passengers from major surrounding hub
airports
