Become a BeechTalk Mentor!The BeechTalk and Beechcraft flying communities need passionate owners and operators to share their Beech experience with others. If you are such a person, then please read the following carefully, then sign up as a BeechTalk Mentor using the form below.
What responsibilities do I have as a BeechTalk Mentor?Your primary responsibility is to be a good steward for the brand. This includes patiently and selflessly answering questions of those new to Beech aircraft, showing off your airplane as you are able, and, if you choose, perhaps even flying a Beech prospect from time to time to really show off what these airplanes can do.
As a BeechTalk Mentor, you will from time to time receive contact emails from prospective Beech owners. This message will go to your email address and you may then choose to respond to the person via email, or by another method as you feel comfortable and/or as indicated by the prospect. As a Mentor, you should be willing and able to answer these messages in a timely and courteous manner. In short, to be a BeechTalk Mentor means you will do your best to help others see the benefits of a Beechcraft airplane.
