THIELERT
SAYS 24 BIDDERS IN LINE
The insolvency trustee for Thielert
Aircraft Engines says there has been major interest in acquiring the
company's assets. Spokesman Sebastian Glaser said "24 prospective buyers
have so far expressed their serious interest by signing a
confidentiality agreement." He said the process moves to the next phase
in which the interested parties, many of them aviation-related, will get
access to detailed financial records. "The uncommonly large number of
potential buyers shows that Thielert is seen as an attractive investment
in the industry," said insolvency administrator Bruno Kübler.

L3
ADDS SYNTHETIC VISION TO SMART DECK
L3 Communications
announced an upgrade to their SmartDeck integrated flight deck, with the
addition of synthetic vision. The new system changes the PFD view to
show terrain, obstacles and runways. The obstructions and terrain are
color-coded and part of a TAWS-B warning system. Additional upgrades
included GPS WAAS support, additional weather options for WSI weather
and several minor changes. One feature we found particularly handy was
the system showing in text the name of the facility tuned on the radio.

CESSNA
BUILDS ON BIZAV SUCCESS
While Cessna Aircraft Company's
presence at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 focuses primarily on the
company's single-engine line, including the Caravan turboprop, its
hugely successful line of business jets are never far from the
forefront. Present in the company's booth at this year's event are a
Citation Mustang very light jet (VLJ), the light Citation CJ2+ and a
pre-owned Citation ValuePlus Ultra. The company says the Citation
Mustang VLJ enjoys more than 500 orders, with 45 copies delivered in
2007 and plans to celebrate the 100th unit's delivery in August. Three
of every five Citation Mustangs go to international customers. The
current fleet totals 86 aircraft that have accumulated more than 12,500
flight hours, with the high-time Mustang having logged more than 500
hours. More...

standards. Get the pre-owned peace of mind that only comes from the most
trusted name in aviation. Choose Cessna pre-owned.

In recent years, more
and more business jets are on display at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and the

of light and very light jets, the Phenom 300 and 100 respectively. While
at Oshkosh, Embraer updated attendees on its Phenom 100 certification
and flight testing, announcing the 1,000-hour milestone had been reached

HAWKER
BEECHCRAFT: BONANZAS TO JETS
Hawker Beechcraft's exhibits at
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2008 helps remind pilots and prospective
customers of the company's long tradition in general aviation and the
opportunities its products hold for stepping up to turboprops and jets.
The company brought six aircraft on display at the show, including a
Bonanza G36, Baron G58, King Air C90GTi, King Air B200GT, Beechcraft
Premier IA and a Hawker 400XP. Never a company to get far from its
roots, the American Bonanza Society's tent, featuring a vintage Bonanza
A36, is nearby and Hawker Beechcraft made certain to provide partial
sponsorship of the annual Bonanzas to Oshkosh (B2OSH) mass arrival.
