Bingham Nerve & Muscle

“Oh what a relief it was! I am a busy entrepreneur and own a Citation jet. I was so glad that I hired Hal Stephens with Sapphire Aviation Solutions to help me with a complex renovation and repair project at the Cessna Citation Wichita Service Center last week."

Ron Bingham, Bingham Nerve & Muscle

"Hal was able to help me manage the entire project and negotiate a huge invoice. Even the people on
the other side of the table found him easy to work with! I now have an aircraft that exceeds my expectations, is very safe and the paperwork is all in order. Most importantly the bill (or should I say pill) was easier to swallow!"
