Testimonials and Comments

" I have been dealing with Larry McElyea for over 6 years, since I bought my first plane. Nine planes later, we still continue to buy only through Larry. His commitment to get us a good deal, genuine advice, and the willingness to go an extra mile, is what keeps taking us back to Larry. I wish him all the best in everything he does."

" It is really a pleasure to work with World Aircraft Trading, Inc. I have known the president, Larry McElyea for many years. A hard working and dedicated person, that does not leave any detail to be forgotten. As a world traveler, and doing business in the four corners of this world, you have a better view of this market than many people in this industry. "

" I have worked exclusively with Larry McElyea and World Aircraft Trading for many years. He has professionally responded and closed complex transactions for me for all major categories of high-performance aircraft, from corporate jet and turboprop to cabin-class piston twins. It is extraordinarily reassuring to have Larry supervise and monitor pre-buy inspection surveys, title research, repair or upgrade activity, all the way to the day when an aircraft is once again placed on the market. In my 40 years of aircraft experience, I have never met a more knowledgeable, ethical, sincere or effective negotiator in the business. As a bonus, you will never meet a more personable, even-balanced and organized organization to work with. As an author, and a veteran pilot, I have literally written the books on Cessna, Gulfstream, Embraer and many others within the aerospace industry. Believe me, Larry's the best -- hands down. "

" I am writing this note on behalf of Mr. Larry McElyea regarding his service to both myself and my company Biomet in five different transactions over the last several years.  In these transactions we have been both, buyer and seller and felt very well represented by Mr. McElyea.  He has approached each project with high integrity, openness and with great energy.  He has always delivered the highest quality service with no hidden surprises.  I would strongly recommend Larry on either side of a transaction.  I am pleased to report that in all transactions it has not simply been, “about the fees”, it has been about leaving a satisfied customer behind. "

" I have done three jet transactions with Larry McElyea at World Aircraft Trading and have had excellent results every time. Larry is hard working, trustworthy and he has a worldwide network. I would not hesitate to work with Larry again. "
