In the driving rain, I taxied the big Gulfstream G650 across the ramp, being careful to keep it at a crawl on the slightly downhill grade. The line guy in optic-green rain gear directed me to nose up to the slab-sided metal hangar, its proud Gulfstream logo just visible through the fast-moving streaks of water […]

Perhaps the most interesting portable in our lineup is the SkyGuardTWX, a small and powerful ADS-B transceiver that combines a dual-band 978 and 1090ES receiver with an ADS-B transmitter.

Dual Electronics’ compact and stylish ADS-B receiver caught our eye the first time we saw it. It took a while, however, before we got a chance to fly it, in part because Dual was working awfully hard to get the model into production and in part because, once it did, the units were hard to […]

AirVenture 2013 wrapped up on Sunday after a week that was remarkably successful despite a number of challenges leading up to the show. Before AirVenture, EAA was in negotiations with the FAA over the agency’s plan to charge the association $650,000 to staff the controllers at the event, a fee that the EAA was able […]

At EAA’s annual Gathering of Eagles gala on Thursday night, EAA Chairman Jack Pelton announced the new Young Eagles Chairman, aerobatics star Sean D. Tucker.
