Airborne at NBAA2012--10.30.12: TFR Tomfoolery, New Sovereign, Kestrel De-Ice

When it was announced that President Obama would be in Orlando the day before the official opening of the NBAA convention, we almost hoped he would be offering an apology to the industry.

We settled for an early exit by the President before things got really bogged down at the area’s airport. In addition to progress reports on the developing M2, Latitude, Longitude, Caravan and TTx programs, Cessna introduced a new version of its popular Citation Sovereign bizjet.

Kestrel Aircraft announced that Cox and Company has been chosen to supply the Ice Protection System for the Kestrel aircraft currently under development. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!

Following the success of Nextant's 400XT re-manufacturing program, company CEO Ken Ricci said at the NBAA convention in Orlando that the company has its eyes on the next airplane to get the full makeover ... but he is unable to say just yet what airplane it will be.

EAA's Jack Pelton, who was recently named chairman of the board, and who has taken over the duties of CEO on an acting basis… told ANN at the NBAA convention that there will be some short-term and long-term changes coming for the organization. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
