Coming hot on the heels of a successful AirVenture showing, Bearhawk Aircraft has announced increased production at its factory to meet increasing demands for their Bearhawk quick-build kits.

The company has expanded their offerings in recent years, to plan and kit-form for 5 models in all. The original Bob Barrows designed Bearhawk 4-Place, the 2-seater Patrol, and their newest addition, the Model 5. Introduced in 2020, the Model 5’s 6-person seating and 300+ horsepower engine selections made it an attention-grabber at AirVenture. The date is set for the 2nd annual ACE’s Sun n’ Fun Holiday Fly-In Festival and Car Show, at their Florida Expo Campus. Taking place on December 3rd and 4th, the expo is a fine excuse to head down and enjoy the temperate Florida autumn. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit scholarship programs and education at the Aerospace Center for Excellence. Any Sun n’ Fun event will sport some of the best aeronautical displays around, and the Holiday Festival is no exception. Honeywell has released its new Anthem flight deck, a cloud-connected flight deck system that features an always-on connection and touchscreen. Eschewing the usual connections for updates allows for seamlessly updated maps, unified consumable status tracking, and flight plan transfer. The new flight deck is suitable for every type of aircraft from large passenger planes to general aviation craft, and, as the segment expands, air mobility vehicles. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
