Awards & Accolades

Mike Manclark started out with a simple plan; make airplanes look nice and never turn down an opportunity. If he didn’t know exactly how to do a job, he worked until they figured it out. It’s how he evolved from “one man and a mop” to the world’s largest aircraft painting company. Impressed with his story, his banker produced this TV commercial about his relentless drive for success.
