We had incredible coverage at AirVenture this year. In addition to giving several high profile rides, the Team and their aircraft were featured all over the venue. Aircraft were displayed prominently at many locations, including the Flying magazine tent, AeroShell Square, and on the flight line directly in from of show center in high visibility.

      As you are all aware, Alan Henley was injured the week before AirVenture in an accident in his home. Please click HERE for the ongoing news blog on his condition. An RSS feed will be created soon that will allow you to subscribe to updates as they happen.
