First Flight


Just after 3:00PM on January 7, 2006 a crowd of 200 hundred strolled behind the jet as she headed out to the runway for her first take off. What a thrill it was to hear her jet engines winding up as she gained speed, lifted her nose wheel off the ground and leapt into the sky. Absolutely beautiful and what an engineering marvel the Spectrum is. She sure lived up to expectations for being extremely light weight yet very strong. Advanced Composites are here to stay and I witnessed proof of that…..see for yourself.
