Doug Prophitt and Gina,
I worked with John for the time his company was acquired by General Dynamics Aviation Services. He was a special person who always helped me through very complicated avionics installs on corporate aircraft. I will always be grateful to the information he provided and the learnings that he shared with me. He was a good man.
