There are strong indications that a new sport aviation event, still wavering between either a November or January timeframe (until they finish with industry surveys) will be announced during Oshkosh’s opening day... and one stunning detail bodes REALLY well for its potential for success.
The event is being organized to be conducted at none other than Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, FL... While there are a number of SportPlane companies replicating quite a few historic military aircraft, only one is bringing the P-36 back to American skies. Scalebirds notes that the P-36 saw combat from Day One and was credited with two of the first aerial victories of the War at Pearl Harbor. Sympathetic to the disappointment apt to be occasioned by some bad news, Sonex conceded by way of a 09 July statement that a prototype of its Highwing model will not be ready for 2023’s EAA’s AirVenture. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
