From 2023 (YouTube Edition): Advent of the Age of Safety Wearables
The paramountcy of a pilot’s headset to the safety and enjoyment of flight cannot be overstated.

Since the introduction of its first product in 1996, Oswego, Oregon-based Lightspeed Aviation has evolved into one of the headset market’s premier innovators. In 2022, the company launched what it calls Safety Wearables—a forward-thinking amalgam comprising Lightspeed’s award-winning audio and Active Noise Reduction (ANR) systems with Kanari smart carbon-monoxide monitoring, detection, and warning technology.

Emphasis On Growing The Future of Aviation Through Concentration on 'AFFORDABLE FLYERS'
It's been a number of years since the Latest Edition of Jim Campbell's HUGE SportPlane Resource Guide first saw the light of day. That massive 1100 page book last featured over 800 exciting sport aircraft from all over the SportPlane universe... at a time when the SportPlane industry was still a healthy, thriving enterprise (those were the days...). While there has been some consideration, off and on, toward updating the nearly 5 pound book, the near implosion of the SportPlane and kit industry over the last decade has made such a pursuit an unwieldy one... until now.
