The Eclipse Jet Experience Tour
Eclipse is coming to a town near you, and will have the Eclipse twin-engine jet with them. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to see and fly the most technologically advanced light jet aircraft in general aviation.
The Eclipse Jet Experience involves spending time with an Eclipse representative who will teach you about the Eclipse jet and an Eclipse pilot who will help you fly the aircraft. The first hour is an overview of the Eclipse Jet systems and avionics on the ground. You will learn how to operate the Avio IFMS, the fully integrated flight management system that comes standard with every Eclipse Jet. You will see the advantages of this system towards reducing pilot workload and increasing the overall safety of flight.
The second hour of the Eclipse Jet Experience consists of 45-50 minutes of flight time in the aircraft. While flying the Eclipse Jet, you will sit in the pilot's seat and acquire a foundational understanding of the aircraft from a qualified Eclipse instructor pilot.
The cost for the Eclipse Jet Experience is $750 per flight (up to 3 people). This cost will be deducted from your aircraft purchase price.

Sun 'n Fun 2012 03.27.12 - 04.01.12
We're often asked "what is SUN 'n FUN"? That's not an easy question to answer, because the truth is, it depends on who you ask. Like the old proverb about the blind men who offered widely different descriptions of an elephant, it depends on how you experience it!
Most people refer to us as a "fly-in" and that's certainly an important component, as Lakeland Linder Regional Airport becomes the busiest airport in the world during our event, with over 40,000 recorded aircraft movements! That's busier than Atlanta or Chicago!
We are also host to one of the largest aviation tradeshow/conventions in the world with more than 500 commercial exhibitors showcasing the newest products in the industry. From multi-million dollar aircraft to aviation art and avionics, our vendors have something for just about everyone. Plus, our education corridor is filled with more than 400 hands-on workshops and forums, all taking place during the six-day event known around the world as "SUN 'n FUN".
And, don't forget the daily airshow, Friday "night" airshow, Saturday morning balloon race, kids activities, aviation lectures at the Florida Air Musuem, and numerous food vendors and daily entertainment that goes well into the evening. Thousands of guests who just can't get enough SUN 'n FUN join us in the on-site campground, to awaken every day to the seductive sound of aircraft engines.

Ysterplaat Airshow 2010 09.21.10 - 09.25.10
Africa's largest aerospace, defence, and security exhibition is moving to what many have called the world's most beautiful city. Africa Aerospace & Defence, AAD 2010, will be held in Cape Town from 21 - 25 September 2010.
The 2010 Ysterplaat Airshow programme is difficult to structure precisely due to the nature of an air show, but you can expect to be wowed all day long by spectacular airborne trickery from some of the world's greatest airplanes.
According to exhibition director, Mr Geoff van Hees, three new national pavilions have increased AAD2010 by more than 1,200 square metres in display area.
"Some 80 per cent of the exhibition space has already been booked, which is remarkable considering the worldwide economic situation that has impacted on the global aerospace and defence industry," Van Hees says.
"The fact that Turkey, China and the United States of America have all booked large national pavilions at AAD2010 underlines their confidence in South Africa and in the potential for business here. It is the first time these three countries are exhibiting at AAD2010 as national pavilions."
35 countries, 350 exhibitors!
The organizers of AAD2010 hope to surpass the previous numbers of some 350 exhibiting companies from 35 countries. Some 80 foreign delegations from around the world have been invited, many from Africa, as well as the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
