Classic Aero-TV: 1928 Gipsy Moth - One of the Many Great Wonders of OSH19

This year, it was one of the stars in the Vintage area, and became an award-winner. Maniatis did a lot of research to be able to make his airplane as authentic to the original as possible.

Aero-News: Quote of the Day (05.06.20)

"As we know, the COVID-19 pandemic is challenging organizations of every kind, and NBAA is certainly not immune to those challenges... We are working to address the challenge by looking at all aspects of our business, including significant reductions to our workforce, consistent with what we are seeing in the aviation community and beyond.
