Join Us today for a VERY Special Airborne!!! Ryanair announced today that it would be placing coin slots on the oxygen mask deployment systems in the cabins of its airplanes.
The move was called “a charge for a premium service for which customers should decide if they want to use.” Garmin has introduced a game-changing portable GPS the company says is perfect for the weekend pilot who does not spend hours every week in the cockpit. The G100 will have a power switch that requires a credit or debit card swipe to activate the instrument. The device will make precision navigation affordable for GA. Sonex Aircraft is proud to announce their latest kit airplane design ... the Twoex. The Twoex utilizes proven engineering and design work from their Onex single-seat design. Sonex Aircraft Creator John Monnett said, "Homebuilders now have the opportunity to have their own F-82 Twin Mustang look-alike.” All this... and MORE in today's convoluted and somewhat off-kilter episode of Airborne!!!
