Every day, I’m focused on leading in a way that reflects that responsibility, and making sure we continue to perform at the highest level,” said Commander Logan Peck. We’ve been flying different versions of the Bristell two-seat cruiser for over a decade. The latest model builds on an already solid, stable airframe, but now with more power.

At the 2026 SUN ’n FUN Innovation Preview, Nighthawk introduced its Guardian modular glass cockpit. It’s designed to improve situational awareness, reduce pilot workload, and bring modern avionics to both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. What sets it apart is its scalability. Instead of replacing the whole system, operators can start with what they need and expand over time, protecting their investment long term. Microair Avionics has announced the planned release of its T4000 certified skySuite avionics range, expected later this year to bring its next-generation avionics platform to certified aircraft owners.
