Thank You John & Tito!
The SoCal Chapter would like to thank Mr. John Cooreman, Manager, Product Support Technical Sales, Mr. Pedro
“Tito” Mercado, National Sales Manager, Interior Refurbishment, along with Mark White, Darwin Stout, Doug Wendt
and all at Gulfstream for their time and generosity in hosting the June 2015 Chapter dinner meeting and excellent
technical presentations on “Avionics Mandates For Now & The Future” & “How To Prepare Your Corporate Aircraft and
Flight Department for An Interior & Exterior Refurbishment” at the 94th Aero Squadron in Van Nuys, CA. Going above
and beyond as usual, Gulfstream also hosted the full house of additional guests attending for the Chapter’s annual
2015 A&P Student Scholarship Awards and the FAA’s presentation of the prestigious Charles E. Taylor Master Mechanic
Award to Mr. Bob Cupery of Aircraft Window Repairs. Again, many thanks to Gulfstream for their tremendous
