"Thanks to BNB, I've been able to fulfill my passion and get flying – which is not so easy to do. It's a very calming relaxing feeling and that's really why I do it. It gets me to a place where nothing else can. You come down and fly on a day like this. There's nothing better in the world."
"We made the switch to BNB in 1994 because we had a great relationship with Tom Tobin who was the BNB CEO at the time. Very strong relationships run across the management of both our organizations. Both firms enjoy easy access to each other’s senior leaders. Because of this relationship, all of our transactions are done quickly and efficiently."
