The Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo is naming current Lakeland Airport manager, Gene Conrad, to succeed John 'Lites' Leenhouts... who is going to be a TOUGH act to follow. Late last year, Leenhouts announced his intention to retire and the Exec Search got underway in earnest... but while a massive number of qualifications had to be researched and met
, Gene is a local. Geographically, Conrad is simply going to go to work on the other side of the airport. As Conrad prepares to take the reins, we note that he is an avid EAA member, Oshkosh volunteer, and has enthusiastically built up the Lakeland Airport business community... Buyers and investors of stock in the Icon Aircraft company have continued their battle in the backdrop of an investigation being undertaken by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS). American investors have alleged that the dominant stakeholders from China used their purchase of a portion of the company in order to illegally transfer its technology to china. The Chinese investors maintain that they are only carrying out a regular tech licensing agreement. A French Mirage F1 crashed near Buckeye, Arizona while being flown under contract by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC). The pilot ejected safely, with no serious injuries. The crash occurred in a desert field in open land abutting a retirement
community. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
