Six New SportStar Flight Centers Named
Representatives with Evektor America tell ANN the company's
SportStar Flight Center program is rapidly expanding nationally,
with the addition of six more recently appointed flight schools
that help Evektor cover all corners of the lower-48 states.
Scott Andrews, Evektor America's Director of Marketing stated
that there are now 12 SportStar Flight Centers approved in the
United States -- with many more in process:
- St. Charles Flying Service of St. Louis, MO
- JK Aviation of Ramona, CA
- Wright Aero of Minneapolis, MN
- Aero Tech of Lexington, KY
- Henley Aviation of Kinston, NC
- The Plane Collection of Miami, FL
- AB Flight of Kutztown, PA
- Fast Track Flight of Columbus, IN
- Northwest Sport Planes of San Juan Island, WA
- California Sport Aviation of Sacramento, CA
- Acme Aviation of Salinas, CA
- Aviator of Grand Prairie, TX
- Community Aerosports of Farmington, NM
"Since St. Charles Flying Service first recognized the virtues
and value of the Evektor SportStar in training new Sport Pilots
early last year and ordered their first SportStar, their pioneering
success with the aircraft has been well publicized."
With two SportStars now in service, Dennis Bampton, owner of St.
Charles commented, " We selected the SportStar after considerable
research of all available LSA's. It has proven to be the right
choice. Our students love the aircraft and we can hardly keep them
on the ground."
"The SportStar was the first FAA approved S-LSA in the United
States. Its proven all-metal design (over 600 in service
worldwide), extensive testing/documentation backed by Evektor's
well-known manufacturing quality, and predictable flight
characteristics has become the gold standard," said Jeff
Conrad, President of Evektor America. "We expect our network of
Flight Centers providing quality Sport Pilot instruction in
SportStars to continue to expand rapidly to likely forty by the end
of 2007."
