What better way to introduce a pair of disruptive new business airplanes than to create a press conference outside the normal Monday NBAA routine? The Brazilian aircraft builder yesterday brought people together at Orlando Executive airport to hear about the Praetor 500 and 600 super midsize business aircraft soon to be added to the company’s product line.
