It sure has been a very interesting couple of years.
2022 proved to be another very busy and successful year, but accompanied with its own set of challenges. We have added to our already amazing team and aquired equipment to continue improving and delivering one of the best kits on the market today. We have also lost a couple of our valued team and family members due to health and an unfortunate accident. Roy Volker and Charlie Mort are missed dearly and the team has honored them well by filling the void and keeping the pace. Brandon and Heather have done a great job as General Managers, coordinating and scheduling much of the day to day operations and building their own Kitfox.
The supply chains have been extremely challenging waters to navigate but we have been successful and continue to deliver full kits ahead of schedule. We are purchasing in higher volumes today then ever before to be sure to have materials to meet our demand. Price increases have plagued us almost weekly for over the last year. Regardless, Kitfox Aircraft is healthy, strong and looking forward. Thank you Kitfox family, for all of your support. The family continues to grow, connecting builders and pilots, and help each other and we are excited to watch the accomplishments of the builders and flyers.
2023 will be exciting and there is much happening. Stay tuned.
Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year and thanks John for the review, good to hear Kitfox is in good shape and has the leadership to manage all the complex issues facing businesses now.

Even though I purchased a Series 5 kit from a private individual, Kitfox has been excellent providing support, updates, and answering all my questions.

I wish you and the team continued success for Kitfox in 2023!

Great info John and thanks. Hearing people gripe about how the wait should be shorter and it's a Kitfox management issue with no consideration of the supply chain or the ability to get 'qualified' people on the team - this was a good, optimistic peek behind the curtain. Appreciate all that you and the team do for us, from parts to just answering questions and providing info. I can only second the thoughts on what both Brandon and Heather bring to the whole Kitfox experience. Looking forward to many more years of Kitfox fun. Happy New Year.
