Smile Contacting Naples Air Centre !!

Capt Gentil,

I've sent 2 e-mails to the address ([email protected]) on your website (the first being over 2 weeks ago) regarding training and have received no reply as yet.

I don't want to have to ring the USA!! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> Could you please contact me through my e-mail address on here asap or get someone to check your other e-mails!! (if the address is still working! <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> )

If anyone knows of a different e-mail address for Naples could you please post it here.

Ta.

Cheers guys.

Spitfire, I can't find any mention of this Hampshire base on their website.

I'm just going to have to wait for them to get back to me.

Either that or give in and ring them <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

bow5,

My apologies if you have not received a reply to your email.

Naples Air Center is in the middle of an expansion. We have added a new building with 8,100sq-ft of hanagar space and additional 3,600sq-ft of classrooms/offices. We have also expanded the fleet by 5 C-152's, 4 1999 C-172R's, a Warrior, and are currently in negotiations on 2 Arrow IV's and another Seminole.

The local telephone company, Sprint, provides our 11 telephone lines and DSL internet access. They have not been able to keep up with our needs and we have been having problems accessing the Mail Servers. The problem is at the Central Switch for Sprint and there is nothing we can do but wait. As for my conversation with them this morning they assured me it will be solved in the very near future.

I appreciate your patience,

Capt. Richard J. Gentil, Pres.. .Naples Air Center, Inc.

Hi Richard:

Have you flown the Micco SP26?

If not drop in at Ft. Pierce and see De Witt Beckett and take a flight in it.

I flew the SP20 and found it to be an absoutley wonderful machine.

If you have flown it or do fly it let me know if you buy one. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sensible,

Email lost...., possible but not probable.

Sprint re-coded the DSL line and we were able to access our Mail Server. Judging by the amount of email downloaded, no email was lost. We spent all night responding to email, so everyone should have a reply now. If not, please contact me.

Happy Flying,

I emailed a couple weeks ago re ppl training, got no reply, assumed they were therefore useless (or too busy) and signed up elsewhere.

Probably shouldn't depend on email so much, but it is usually so reliable that I hadn't thought of disappearing emails as a feasible explanation.

carb,

Disappearing? I do not believe that is the case.

Are you sure you spelled admissions correctly with the s on the end? If it is not spelled correctly it will not make it.

All email is up to date. If we missed your email, please accept our apologies.

Good Luck with your Training,

Richard,

Does your school do structured hour building or just unstructured hour building?

Thanks. .BUDGIE

Thanks Richard,

I've requested your CD from your UK team via the mail and also passed on my contact details. No response as yet. Hopefully not lost in the ether!

Cool

Guys,. .I'd appreciate it if you didn't use Pprune for your administrative communication to Richard's company. And I'd appreciate it if those who've jumped on this thread to bombard Richard with other (some totally irrelevant) queries would contact him direct.. .Pprune is not Richard's PA service!
