One of our favorite sport-aviation events, The 16th ANNUAL MidWest Aviation Expo, is on target for September 5-7, 2024 at the idyllic Mt. Vernon Outland Airport (MVN) in Mt. Vernon, IL.
The MWAE Midwest Aviation Expo is specifically organized to aid in educating and selling Light Sport Aircraft, LSA Ancillary Services, and LSA-related Services. ICON Aircraft has successfully completed the sale of essentially all its assets to investment banking group SG Investment America (which apparently/ultimately is derived from Chinese ownership), who will continue to operate the company (for now) under the name ICON Aircraft. You don't see this kind of story every day... Thank goodness. An experimental Quad City Challenger II, which apparently had recently been stolen, experienced a terminal case of fuel exhaustion and subsequently made a forced landing on a bit of farmland. The thief is in serious trouble. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
Airborne Affordable Flyers 08.15.24 is chock full of sport aviation info in this Special Episode, Thursday, August 15th, 2024... Presented by Aero-TV veteran videographer and Airborne Host Holland Lee. Holland is supported by ANN Chief Videographer Nathan Cremisino, as well as ANN CEO/Editor-In-Chief Jim Campbell.
