In An Age Clouded By Icon's Flim-Flammery, We Want To Suggest Companies/Planes We Believe You Should Trust
As we have in year's past... though not recently... ANN is dusting off one of our reader's favorite programs -- our "Flyer's Dozen" of the best SportPlanes and and companies we believe deserve your consideration for an airplane of your own.
The SportPlane business has been through some rough times these last few years as a few companies let us down... badly... Icon Aircraft chief among them. And face it, it didn't help that the economy was not in the best shape and the struggle to enjoy aviation hasn't gotten any easier.
So... here's the deal... we're going to be putting together profiles of all the likely suspects and we want YOUR input as to what companies and airframes deserve top honors this year. Unlike some other so-called awards, our 'Best of Breed' is initially assembled by experts with a true passion for sport aviation and boast tremendous long-term expertise in the field... but also and unlike other such programs; we understand, appreciate and want YOUR input... because the ultimate arbiter of a truly successful SportPlane is one that the sport aviation community Judges and selects for themselves.
We're assembling candidates and criteria now... but would like to hear from YOU as to your experiences with various SportPlanes... good and bad... so that we may include YOUR info in our planning processes. You can reply to jim@aero-news.net .
SO... you have a few days in which to think about the aircraft that YOU feel deserve such recognition and submit them to us so that we can, together, make a proper selection for 2017.
