T'is the season.... for a good holiday story in which a SportPlane, and its pilot, gets to play hero.
And in this case, it's yet another case of a Zenith to the rescue. Pilot Jerry Ebke noted, via Facebook, that his nephew’s little boys received a pony for Christmas in rural southeastern Nebraska. But... the Yule-time pony-joy was short-lived as the four-legged Christmas gift was spooked by their dog and ran off. The search started in earnest... "Many FB posts, stops at neighbors and driving roads had been unsuccessful in locating Scout," (the Pony). Jerry is not only a pilot, but has a Zenith CH-650... The website for ABACE 2022 was updated to notify prospective attendees of its third cancellation, formerly planned to take place from April 12-14, 2022. The NBAA and Shanghai Airport Authority may well have decided that the conditions leading up to the expo are not likely to remain stable amid COVID concerns throughout Asia. China’s border remains largely impassable to the average non-emergency tourist, requiring particular visas or citizenship to enter the country for the foreseeable
future. American Legend Aircraft Company released their newly manufactured seafaring equipment for their series of Cub-derived Super Legend. Owners of such planes can choose from amphibious or straight floats from popular, longtime floatplane outfitter PK Floats. The announcement coincides with a recent victory of an aircraft so-equipped at the 2021 Greenville International Seaplane Fly-in, where the freshly outfitted Super Legend secured the first place prize in a takeoff competition. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
