Ten-Minute Segment Aired On LA's Channel 9
A turbocharged Columbia 400 certified aircraft made its show
business debut this week as the subject of a ten-minute segment
that aired on Los Angeles news magazine 9 On The Town.
Emmy-nominated producer Josh Chaiton produced the segment,
titled Flight Partners, for KCAL TV. The segment profiled three
LA-area residents who jointly own a Columbia 400 and explores how
each uses the aircraft differently to benefit their respective
lifestyles.
The segment also includes interviews with Erik Lindbergh,
grandson of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh, who recreated his
grandfather's historic trans-Atlantic crossing in 2002 in a
Columbia 300.
Flying Magazine Publisher Dick Koenig is also featured.
"We're very pleased that Josh chose the Columbia 400 as the
subject for this story," said Columbia Vice President of Marketing
and Sales Randy S. Bolinger. "He did a beautiful job showcasing the
aircraft's capabilities and highlighting an ownership option that
really opens up the market to a lot more people."
"Shared access makes flying a modern aircraft like the Columbia
more accessible for many folks," Chaiton said. "There's nothing
like the feeling of freedom when you can fly to your destination
quickly, while other travelers are inching their way along
congested freeways or spending the day flying and changing planes
to get to locations off the beaten track."
The segment first aired on September 28th, but will run again
several times in the coming weeks on KCAL9. Watch local listings
for the schedule. The segment is also posted on Columbia Aircraft's
homepage.
