We're really sad to break the news that King Air won't be gracing the display circuit in '16. Sorry to let you all down folks.

Work-up was going well, but we've found potential for a safety issue as we display. No problems during normal ops, but safety is paramount.

We'll link our formal press release into here as soon as we can.

We just wanted to get the news out as quickly as we're allowed so that you all knew (and can make new plans for toilet/hot dog breaks :twisted: :mrgreen: :worship:
We're confident we could have made the display just as safe as it was previously, sadly, just not in the time frame we had available to us.
