Wichita is the largest city in the U.S. state of Kansas.  As of the 2010 census, the city population was 382,368.  Located in south-central Kansas on the Arkansas River, Wichita is the county seat of Sedgwick County and the principal city of the Wichita metropolitan area.  As of 2011, the metro area had a population of 630,721.  The city was incorporated in 1870, based on the success of businessmen who came to hunt and trade with native populations. Its position on the Chisholm Trail made it a destination for cattle drives heading north to access railroads to eastern markets. In the 20th century, aircraft pioneers such as Clyde Cessna, Walter Beech and Bill Lear began projects that would lead to Wichita's nicknaming as the Air Capital of the World. The aircraft corporations Stearman, Cessna, Mooney and Beechcraft were all founded in Wichita in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft remain based in Wichita today, along with Learjet and Spirit AeroSystems,and both Airbus and Boeing maintain a workforce in Wichita. The city was also at one time the headquarters of the former Derby Oil Company, which was purchased by Coastal Corporation in 1988.

"Several years ago on our way back from Kansas City, we passed through Wichita.  We decided to make a stop as we were on the road for a good 5 hours straight.  One of the appraisers said I heard a good place to eat is River City Brewery, so we decided to check it out.  I was amazed of how well the food was and the atmosphere.  While sitting there at the table with the other appraiser, I noticed a gentleman at the adjacent table talking about his insurance claim.  I couldn't hear the type of vehicle, but by what he was saying I knew he was dealing with a total loss claim.  Me being the kind of appraiser that likes to help customer out, I leaned over and said "excuse me are you dealing with an insurance claim?"  The guy said "yah and the insurance company is really messing me over."  We began to talk about the claim and what he was really hoping to get out of this.  I told him we were all certified auto appraisers and that we are nationwide, so any location we have him covered.  I gave him my business card and he said he would call me after the weekend.  When I got back to our office on Monday; I already had a voicemail from this guy.  Not only was he happy to have met me, he wanted to hire us for his total loss appraisal.   I wanted to share this as I'm so amazed at how helping someone out will reward you in the future."  Mark K - Kansas Appraiser
