Benny Benitez, 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consulting Group and world renowned, Miami Artist George Rodez team up for an "Aviation-Art "project to support a local group Miami Lakes, Florida 19th March 2009: Originally having had experience in blending the two themes of "Aviation" and "Art" back during the spring of 2004, when the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group volunteered to assist in supporting a local Cuban community project by recovering, dismantling, transporting and reassembling an AN-2 Russian made Antonov bi-plane with Cuban registered CU-1086, which was sponsored and speared headed by the the Law Firm or Leeds, Colby and Pairs, which today is "The Cochran Firm of Miami".
The AN-2 was relocated from Key West International Airport to the Coconut Grove U.S. Coast Guard Aircraft Hangar. Once delivered and reassembled, the AN-2 aircraft was vibrantly painted in bold and rich Afro-Caribbean colors by Miami artist Xaiver Cortada. Once again, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group or as its name is being coined within the industry as "94th" is paring up with a another great and world established Miami Artist, Mr. George Rodez, website www.RODEZart.com
The mission is to once again blend aviation and art so as to assist in fund raising for group in which "94th" is behind in full support.
