Miami Springs, Miami 20th May 2009: The time, May 2003, fuel was at US$34.65 A barrel, Saddam Hussein was still in power and the United States had just invaded and entered into the war in Iraq. The general public feared of what a possible long draw out war might do to the Nation, haunting images of a quagmire like Vietnam loomed in the public eyes and the Enron Corporation was binging to unravel, but among all of the worlds and finanical market uncertainties, the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group was stood up and commissioned as fully operational on 20th May 2003.
Since then and still under the leadership of its Founder and CEO, Benny F. Benitez, the "94th" as it has been coined and has become known within the Miami "Aviation 305" community has established a world wide presence and reputation.
Since establishment, the "94th" has deployed and operated for the benefit and the interest of its clientele in over eleven (11) countries. The "94th" as assisted the Miami-Dade District Attorneys Office to the Government of the United States. It has audited and inspected aircraft's ranging from a private Cessna 172 to the Presidential B737-500 "FAP-356" of the Government of Peru. From a single Piaggio P-180 Avant II project which became the first ever P-180 into the Country of India to an evaluation and inspection of an entire fleet of MD-90's at China Eastern Airlines. The "94th" has expanded its forgein linguistic capabilities for its world client and market dominance from Spanish to Portuguese, German, Chinese and Farsi!
It has expanded into the realm of finance by providing local banks, as well as the U.S. Government Export / Import (Ex Im) Bank technical assistance in the evaluations and appraisals of aviation commodities.
The "94th" has spearhead and continuous the charge and support toward many civic and community projects like the Greater Miami Aviation Association, The Miami Maintenance Management Council and The Eastern Flight 401 Tribute Group, as well as other groups in Roswell, New Mexico and Atlanta Georgia. What is on the radar for the "94th" for next six years?
If the first six years was proof as to the relentless effort and the "you never give up" mindset, the next six years will hold bold and new accomplishments for the group!
Already, but a mere two days into the next six years, the "94th" is presenting a proposal to the Self Defense Force of Panama for aviation training and is seeking "Specific Threat Analyses Grants" from the Department of Homeland Security for certain projects. The "CAN DO" spirit live strong within and it shall propel the "94th" toward many more years of success and accomplishments "God Speed 94th".
