No, but I heard from a source at Oshkosh today that he is trying to sell-out the operation.

Don’t Panic
This is one of the harder things I’ve had to put down on paper, but I’ve always been up front with people and I want to be up front with our customers about the future of Smith Aviation. My father Nick Sr will be 62 years on his next birthday, although he works like he is in his 20’s, actually most 20 year olds don’t work as hard. I’m 34 with a young family, with sons in ages 1, 3, 5, and 15. I’ve worked very hard, along with my father the last 10 years to make Smith Aviation what it is today. with the surge of sales recently, along with Nick Sr’s desire to slow down, and my ambition to spend more time with my family, and the need to build more planes to accommodate our customers, we have decided to look into the possibility of selling our business. Now, before anyone panics, there is no sale imminent at this time. We have had discussions with several companies and one has shown serious interest. We are going to weigh all our options before selling as there is no rush. It may end up that we still own our business 5 years from now if a proper owner has not been found, one that places a priority on quality before profit. I will keep you informed of any further developments,

Thanks,

Nick Smith Jr.

Does the current lack of the Smith Kit website mean they aren't taking any more orders?
