People cast a wary eye to the sky Monday, as the final preparations were made for the Sun 'n Fun Expo and Fly-In at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, FL.

Last week, The ‘Airplane Factory USA’ received a Special Airworthiness Certificate for the first Sling-4 kit-airplane built in the United States. Sling has a number of their 2-place kit-built LSA’s certificated and flying in the U.S., and now their first certificated 4 place kit-built airplane has been added to the fleet.
