"We are excited to partner with ANN to bring this new feature to SUN ‘n FUN," said John "Lites" Leenhouts, President/CEO. NTSB determined a pilot’s spatial disorientation and loss of control, led to the fatal, Jan. 26, 2020, crash of a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter in Calabasas, California. the accident that claimed the lives of all nine persons onboard, including basketball star Kobe Bryant and his daughter. Bombardier announced it will end production of Learjet aircraft later this year, 'allowing the Company to focus on its more profitable Challenger and Global aircraft families and accelerate the expansion of its customer services business.'
