You have NO idea what it takes to get ready for something as important and immense as an event like the SUN n FUN Aerospace Expo... the ANN crew took a look at what it takes to prepare the field for Aviation’s ‘Spring Break’.
It’s been a long, eventful run... but John ‘Lites’ Leenhouts is approaching his last day as the man in charge of one of aviation’s pivotal events... Join us as Lites conducts his last Morning Briefing at the start of the Expo. When Daher decides to upgrade... they UPGRADE. The TBM 960 is here and we’re dying to get our hands on it and its FADEC propulsion system... Piper is pushing airplanes out the doors as fast as they can build them... Trainers like the Piper 100i and the PA46 series are particularly popular right now and many models are sold out through the end of the year and into the next. When the world gets weird, we depend on our military to keep us safe...the professionalism demonstrated by teams like the USAF Thunderbirds instills tremendous confidence in all those who see what this military team does every week... We talked to Thunderbird #1, Lt. Col Justin Elliott and Thunderbird #3, Major Lauren Schlichting for some additional insight. Don't forget to
tune into each morning's 0900ET MORNING BRIEF... LIVE... at www.airborne-live.net. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
