FAA Administrator Michael Huerta made his annual speech at AirVenture today, which is intended to focus on issues important to the general and sport aviation pilots that make up most of the AirVenture crowd--but overall, he didn't say much. The first Sun Flyer electric trainer is under construction at Aero Electric Aircraft Corporation’s facility in Colorado. At a news conference at AirVenture Thursday, AEAC president and CEO George Bye said the company has contracted with Arion Aircraft to help build the initial prototype trainer. The FAA has extended an S-T-C for Trig Avionics’ TT31 transponder, which Trig CEO Andy Davis says is an economical way for pilots of both certified and experimental and light sport airplanes to meet the agency’s ADS-B out requirements. You can always count on seeing a lot of Warbirds at AirVenture, each with its own unique story and history. One of the most historically significant this year is not bristling with guns or bombs. It is the C-47 “That’s All, Brother.” which was the airplane that led the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1945. The airplane is set for a major restoration effort by the Commemorative Air Force. CAF president and CEO Stephan Brown said that by pure coincidence, the historically significant airplane was discovered near Wittman Regional Airport. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
