MAVERICK JETS INC

The Maverick Air company moved into new premises in May 1998 and immediately began manufacture of the first Twinjet. In early 2001, Colorado businessman Jim McCotter acquired a majority share in Maverick Air Inc, renaming it Maverick Jets, and announced plans to establish a new company, known as McCotter Aviation, to develop a six-seat, factory-built, FAA-certified version of the Leader, designated MC2400. Development has been delayed by loss of the prototype.
In 2006, Maverick launched a new version of Leader, known as SmartJet; and single-engine variant confusingly labelled Leader 2.
