EAA Chairman Jack Pelton has reported that the 2014 edition of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh could be the best conventions of all time. Aircraft arrival numbers were up significantly from a year ago with more than 1,000 additional registered aircraft in Oshkosh over last year.
On Tuesday, the field at Wittman Regional Airport was full for aircraft parking. Pelton commented, “This was the first time in a long time aircraft parking was full.” The economy and the passage of time have conspired to force the Sequoia Aircraft Corporation, maker of Falco plans, kits and components, to close their doors. The 60-year-old F8L Falco is a classic homebuilt design loved for its aerodynamics and artful appeal. Last week the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) published the second quarter 2014 general aviation aircraft shipment report. Industry airplane shipments increased 4.8 percent while airplane billings were 4.5 percent. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
