Just about the time that you thought the FAA couldn't get any more difficult to understand... or justify... comes news that the Feds are ratcheting up the pressure on EAA to pay nearly $500K in additional fees to staff the annual Fly-In in Oshkosh, WI.
What started as a negotiation has now turned into an outright demand. After forty years of supplying kits for amateur-built aircraft, Van’s Aircraft, Inc. stepped into a new world on May 31 when they delivered the very first certified, fly-away, ready-to-go Van’s airplane. Looking for military jet styling and performance with all the luxuries of civilian life? You may need look no further than the Saker S-1. The emerging luxury jet aircraft manufacturer Saker Aircraft Corporation has opened its order book for what it says is the aviation industry’s most advanced personal jet. Mind you; they haven’t researched, certified or produced a single airframe yet... but they do have high hopes. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
