When Dan Johnson was with us last week, we didn't even begin to cover everything that happened at the AERO show in Germany. This time we focus on some of the happenings in the ASTM meetings and in the electric aircraft world.

Sun 'n Fun is coming up in just a couple of weeks and Dan visits with us about some of the things we can expect at the show. Building on the success of the LSA Tour after the Sebring Light Sport Expo, some manufacturers will be making stops together both to and from the Florida convention to show off the planes in airports on the path to Lakeland.

US Sport Aircraft Takes Over from Piper

US Sport Aircraft Takes Over from Piper

IFirst off, a correction: Though I took the proposed renaming of PiperSport to “SuperCruiser” directly from a Czech Sport Aircraft (CSA) news release, the new name did not stick. It’ll be the SportCruiser as it was before Piper assumed worldwide distribution. Widely reported in aviation media, Piper abruptly ended their almost-year-long relationship with manufacturer CSA in what ...

Dan Johnson joins us to talk about more of the LSA news that came out of the Sebring Expo. Of course some of the biggest news came just before the event with Piper saying that they were splitting with Czech Sport Aircraft. Dan talks about what happened, what is going on, and what Piper may be doing in the future. He also talks about the LSA barnstorming tour some LSA manufactures went on in Florida after the Sebring event.
