Miami, Florida 9th April 2014: Only in Miami and only from South Florida largest aircraft manufacture Atlantic Models. The "largest aircraft manufacture in South Florida" is a moniker that Benny F. Benitez, Founder and CEO of the 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) has placed on Atlantic Models as despite being relative to scale, they produce more aircraft's per year here in Miami than anyone in the whole State of Florida. 

Atlantic Models, under the leadership of Carol and Roger Jarman have always amazed many of us in the business with their amazing and detailed work on aircraft models ranging from 1/72 to 1/4th scale and now they have done it again with their new, portable flight simulator units. 

We were fortunate to have gotten a one on one detail review of the unit from Roger and enjoyed experiencing its amazing sensation for well over and hour at his facility. We are told that this unit now resides at the Pan Am Flight Academy facility on 36th street in Miami, Florida. We here at the 94th ACG have expressed to Roger that we see some great training applications with certain clients who we have that could benefit from the ability to apply low cost aircrew flight training and in remote places as well.
