->I was at OSH this year and believe that you are off base in your
->opinions. There just wasn't any new news to report on from the LSA
->manufacturers. Actually, the most note worthy thing at OSH
->about LSAs
->was who wasn't there: AMD, Paradise, SeaMax, and Gobosh were a few I
->could not find. One has to wonder if the weeding out process
->that has
->long been discussed for LSAs hasn't finally begun with big
->names such as
->these missing from the show.
->
->I'd also point out that one of the biggest attractions at the
->show this
->year by far was the Icon demos at the SPB. The seaplane buses were
->absolutely packed on days they were flying. I've never seen
->the base as
->mobbed as it was this year. Of course "Icon flies in circles" isn't
->exactly worth reporting about in the news.
->
->As for AOPA, we have been maintaining the AOPA Remos and
->hence see these
->folks regularly. I can't tell you just how much excitement
->there is on
->their staff from Craig Fuller on down about LSA. If there was poor
->reporting about this at the show this year it was due to the
->unfortunately passing of the mother of the AOPA reporter who manages
->their Remos which prevented her from attending the show as
->planned this
->year.
->
->Bahamas has always allowed sport pilots and sport planes. I
->checked on
->this a few years back. They've just made it official now. FAA isn't
->involved on this one.
