"This Is Evidence The Seawind Is Proven"
Seawind, Inc. says it enjoyed record
sales at this year’s EAA Oshkosh. The sixteen airplanes sold
bring the total of soon-to-be certified production aircraft orders
to forty-six with first deliveries scheduled for the first quarter
of 2006.
"This is evidence that the Seawind has been proven," said Dick
Silva, President and CEO of Seawind. "Many of our sales have been
with our community of followers from the past several years. These
loyal, interested people can now see our progress toward
certification and the near completion of our manufacturing
facility. As a result, they realize that it's time to commit to the
purchase of their Seawind. Through our marketing efforts and
attendance at aviation shows, we have added over seven hundred new
enthusiasts and followers to our community."
Seawind has been moving steadily toward certification over the
past few years and has, most recently, been funded for the
completion of the project. Since receiving the funding, great
strides have been made in the manufacturing, tooling and production
of the first test-article airplanes. The test pilot team is under
contract and initial orientation flights are being conducted in the
proof-of-concept airplane over the next few weeks. Certification
flights in the test-articles will commence this winter.
"We have solidified our efforts at providing a speedy,
comfortable, and versatile high performance airplane," said
Marketing and Sales Manager Bill Poirier. "It’s amazing how
many people we have following our progress and are waiting eagerly
to purchase the Seawind 300C. We are committed to providing the
best fastest and only new single-engine amphibian to be certified
in many, many years."
