Aero Linx: Lake Amphibian Club Over the years the cost of a new Skimmer or Lake went from about $16,000 to over $500,000 for many reasons. Sales of Renegades have been very sparse in the last few years, the last one built under contract, in 2006. Armand sold the company in 2003, only to regain it a year or two later, minus a rather large asset — the factory and hangar at Sanford. Many parts are still being supplied. To date there have been about 137 Renegades produced, with a total of approximately 1050 Skimmers and Lakes built since 1956.

From 2024 (YouTube Edition): Clinic Aimed to Promote Safe Aircraft Control The EAA Pilot Proficiency Center hosted an angle of attack (AOA) training clinic during the 2024 Oshkosh Airventure. The event aimed to teach attendees about what AOA indicators are and how they can be used to improve flight safety. AOA indicators have been around from the beginning. Even the Wright brothers had their own makeshift version: a piece of yarn fastened to the leading edge of the wing. As flight has grown more advanced, aviators realized how crucial AOA indicators are and began to install them in modern aircraft.…

Premium economy has come a long way from just being ‘economy with a bit more legroom.’ It’s now one of the most competitive areas in commercial aviation, with airlines investing heavily in seat design, comfort, and overall passenger experience. Once viewed as a convenient upsell between economy and business class, today’s premium is an experience in its own right, driven by innovation in seat engineering, ergonomic design, and in-flight comfort. Airlines are rethinking how passengers sit, sleep, and move during long-haul flights. That means purpose-built seat architecture, with better recline geometry, zoned cushioning, adjustable head and foot rests, combined with…

While Virgin Atlantic’s route network is heavily focused on transatlantic flights, the airline is launching a couple of new routes to Asia. Several months ago, Virgin Atlantic announced plans to launch flights to South Korea. Oddly the flight was put on sale, and then the flight was pulled shortly thereafter, leaving many to wonder what was going on, or if the airline was having second thoughts (it wouldn’t be the first time — just take a look at the planned Sao Paulo service). Well, this flight is now once again on sale (with a different schedule), so let’s cover the…
