In releases issued as most of America was still scarfing up leftover turkey and stuffing (with extra gravy), GA's remaining All-American powerhouse, Textron -- the parent to Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft and Lycoming Engines -- has officially commented on and confirmed their purchase of Beech.

Because the FAA is woefully behind on its mandated 3-year re-registration program and if your registration expires, it isn’t renewed until the FAA says it is. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
