Hi Cessna Folks,
My name is Bob Hart and I have been a contributor to the Avionics Forum here for the last year.  I've been the Senior Avionics Consultant at Eastern Avionics for 16 years, first as sales person for Eastern and also as Sales Manager for Eastern Avionics from 1999 through 2004. In 16 years, I have personally sold over 20 Million in Avionics.  In 2007,
Eastern Avionics was bought out and taken over by new owners and management and we became APG-Eastern Avionics, The APG stands for Aviation Partners Group.  In August of this year, I became the Marketing Manager for APG-Eastern Avionics.
Frankly, when we made this change in 2007, we did not do a very good job of notifying the thousands of Eastern Avionics customers of these changes.  At the same time, new management reduced our advertising budget and pulled us out of Sun & Fun and Oshkosh.  Frankly ... I think a lot of loyal Eastern Avionics customers thought we closed our doors and went out of business!  My job, from here on in, is to let the public know and to "rebuild" the APG-Eastern Avionics  "Brand"!   APG-Eastern Avionics was one of the first (maybe even the first) "Big" avionics companies in the country with both local service and installation and "International" avionics sales through email and telephone and we were the very first avionics company on the world wide web! (1995)  Nothing has changed except we have learned a few new "tricks" and are now a serious player in the Corporate Avionics Arena.  We are still "experts" at General Aviation Avionics and a major dealer for all the best manufacturers.  Please ... if you were an Eastern Customer in the past and you thought we were gone, come back to us!  If you have never been an APG-Eastern customer, give us a chance?   We still do it right!  Come visit us at  www.avionix.com    Thanks for reading!  Bob Hart  Senior Avionics Consultant and Marketing Manager
