Says Group "Has Really Hit One Out Of The Park With This
Event"
Austin Blue, President of Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC, recently
announced plans to exhibit at the National Business Aviation
Association's (NBAA's) inaugural Light Business Airplane Exhibition
and & Conference (LBA) next year.
Announced at Lakeland 2008 earlier this year,
the new NBAA event will be held in San Diego, CA from March 12-14,
2009, and will feature exhibits, educational sessions and a static
display of airplanes all designed specifically for operators who
rely on light business airplanes to help their companies
succeed.
"We are delighted to welcome Spectrum Aeronautical as an
exhibitor at our first Light Business Airplane event," said Ed
Bolen, President and CEO of NBAA.. "We're also pleased that Austin
Blue has agreed to serve on the committee of local industry experts
who are helping guide our planning for the show. Austin is a
visionary whose experience with light business airplane operations
will help ensure that our new event is highly valued by those in
attendance."
Blue added, "We applaud NBAA for developing an event directed at
a dynamic and exciting part of the business airplane market. Also,
in providing a West Coast venue, NBAA's event presents an excellent
opportunity to showcase our aircraft and their capabilities. The
exhibition will specifically address the interests of our
customers, and as an added bonus it is practically in our back
yard."
"We are looking forward to the LBA event as well as next year's
NBAA Convention in Orlando," continued Blue. "While we're focusing
on the LBA for the short term, we also plan on being in Orlando
next year and look forward to participating in the LBA event on an
annual basis as well."
Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC, has operations in Spanish Fork, UT
and in Carlsbad, CA. The privately held company is developing the
Freedom S.40, an eight-place mid-sized jet powered by GE Honda Aero
Engines HF-120 fanjets, scheduled for certification in 2010; and
also the Independence S.33, a seven-place light jet using Williams
International's FJ33-4A jet engines, scheduled for certification
during 2011.
Spectrum's Director of Sales, Gary Bushouse, added, "NBAA has
really hit one out of the park with this event. Its West Coast
location will provide options for those who may not get to Orlando
this year. Also, specifically addressing light business aircraft
operations is right on target with the direction of a key part of
the industry."
