Neal Avionics is the top tier of Avionics installers. They are much more than just an Avionics dealer. Garrett always was an innovator in the avionics industry when it comes to seeing the future of avionics. Ask me how I know. I was the Garmin Southwest Avionics Manager for 24 years and I signed up up Garett Avionics. I could just tell this fellow was something special and he proved that he was. The installations I witnessed were spectacular and his legacy continues. He’s truly an artist. Not many of those folks in this world. I’ve since retired, but it’s really nice to see my special people that are doing it well. Love to see folks that are enjoying the fruits of Garett and Garmin’s hard work.

I also get the sense that you benefited by first having the "older" systems and making you operate using sort of "old school" fundamentals.
