SR20, Rotorway Kit Top List Of Sweepstakes Prizes
Straight wing or rotary? That's a question entrants in the
Experimental Aircraft Association's annual sweepstakes may have to
consider. For the first time, there are two new aircraft that top
the list of prizes in the contest, which officially opened November
1 and ends August 3, 2008 -- the final day of EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh.
This year's grand prize is a new Cirrus SR20, valued at
$220,000. which is fully IFR-certified with a multi-function
flat-panel display and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS).
Also being awarded this year is a RotorWay A600 Talon helicopter
kit, valued at $90,000, along with a $20,000 RotorWay educational
credit at RotorWay's new flight training facility.
All proceeds of EAA's annual
aircraft sweepstakes -- which is open to members and non-members --
are used for EAA's youth education and aviation preservation
efforts.
"For more than a quarter-century, EAA members have created and
participated in this fundraising effort that benefits EAA programs
and all of aviation," said Elissa Lines, EAA vice president of
commercial and donor relations. "This year's sweepstakes offers the
best group of prizes we've ever gathered. These prizes are donated
by companies who support EAA's mission and programs that build the
spirit of aviation."
Other prizes in the sweepstakes include a Honda ST1300A
motorcycle; a John Deere X700 Ultimate lawn tractor; a BOSE Wave
radio/CD system; and Canon EOS 40D camera.
Entry forms are available online, and also in selected issues of
EAA Sport Aviation and Sport Pilot magazines. Complete sweepstakes
entry and eligibility rules are available at the website.
