Susan was absolutely amazing!
When it came time to find the Beechcraft I wanted, she didn’t just help me secure the loan—she walked me through the entire process, answered every question with complete transparency, and made sure I truly understood each step.

What really set her apart was how far she went above and beyond. This was my very first airplane, and she helped me communicate with the mechanic, ask the right (and very specific) questions, and fully understand what I was getting into before moving forward.

All in all, I highly recommend her and this company. I will 100% use them again and strongly suggest you check them out if you’re considering an aircraft purchase.

Great and Easy experience.
Susan is great to work with. I found myself struggling to get approved because I recently purchased a very large business, which made my credit score drop, but I have a high income and I wanted to buy a Cirrus SR-22.

This is a simple process. There is no deposit to lock in a rate - their rate isnt competitive, but they were upfront about that at the start, and they get very creative with loan structuring. The other reviewer saying they had a deposit stolen must be lying because there's no deposit.

You pick an airplane that you can afford 30% down payment on, and get with Susan. She will review the logs and the airplane history with you (her whole family is involved in the aviation industry).

She has a mechanic for a pre-buy if you like to use them, and they are good and very reasonable.

You will use an escrow (aerospace reports), and at closing she has a fee you pay for the loan. 50% is part of the principal of the loan the rest you pay in cash.

Credit score really isnt a big factor. If you have 30% down and the airplane is decent, you're approved.

The loan is structured as interest only payments, with the option to pay principal being up to you, but to renew the loan you have to make a principal payment.

She's amazingly responsive, friendly and knowledgeable.

The rate is extremely high but that's not a real issue if you title it under a real operating business since the interest reduces your taxes.

So if you want a no BS approval, assistance with reviews of paperwork and a fast close, and you dont mind paying a bit extra for it, this is the way to go.

I think in the future I would go through Susan for everything.

Don't be spooked by the use of a yahoo email (I was). But I called around, checked references, etc. If you look at COPA forums (for cirrus owners), Steel aviation has them on a list of lenders, as does a few other aircraft brokers.

The Mancuso Group made owning a plane possible for me and my family. The experience was so transparent, personal, and positive. This was my first time purchasing a plane and Susan was by my side every single step of the way. Response time was almost immediate with every question I had. I will, 100%, use their services again and I recommend them without hesitation!
Thank you, Mancuso family! You made our dream a reality!

Steals down payments I'll try to scam people out of their money for a fake transaction

Update: This was my personal experience and even if you want to make threats of reports, that's your right. But understand your company wronged me and I will share my experience with anyone in so choose to.

PSA: Do NOT use PlaneMoney / The Mancuso Group for aircraft financing — they scammed me
Just a heads up to anyone in aviation looking for financing. I applied for a loan through PlaneMoney (aka The Mancuso Group) for a small aircraft deal. Was told I was approved. Gave them a down payment to lock the rate. And then... nothing.

They ghosted me. No loan. No paperwork. No refund.
Susan, the woman handling my file, fed me straight bullshit the entire time.

I’ve since found others with identical experiences. Same script. Same ghosting. Same theft.

I’ve filed with the FTC, my state AG, and BBB — but I'm posting here so no one else gets ripped off. This is a shady, bait-and-switch outfit and they need to be exposed.
