We even had a surprise special guest join us, Salem is a very sweet girl that spent this amazing day hanging out and getting more treats than she probably should've but watching her wag that tail and smile made it a great day to celebrate some really amazing people! So proud to be a part of this family.

FTair recently purchased the Panel Pro 6126 From Buller Enterprises. Training was held for Aaron Horne, Nicholas Rushing and Dave McCracken by Larry Buller from Buller Enterprises! The 6126 has a router, measuring device and a laser for precise cuts and measurements. This launches FTair into many other capabilities including new and modified instrument panels, layout and CAD drawings, wiring diagrams etc. This new addition can handle honeycomb, Kevlar, plastic, fiberglass as well as the standard aluminum stock material.

We are excited and proud to announce that FTair has been chosen to be a Genesys Authorized Service and Dealer. Coupled with our Garmin Dealership, we are looking forward to our partnership with both as our Avionics installation and upgrade program grows!

Training...Networking...and learning so much here at AEA Dallas.

They say you never work a day in your life if you love what you do and here at we love what we do!

His bomber was a B-52F-65-BW, serial number 57-149,¹ call sign GREEN TWO. It was the number two aircraft in a 30-airplane bomber stream.

"On This Day in Aviation"

15 February 1961, 09:05 UTC: This Boeing 707-329 airliner, registration OO-SJB, under the command of Captain Ludovic Marie Antoine Lambrechts and Captain Jean Roy, was enroute from Idlewild Airport, New York (IDL) to Brussels-Zaventem Airport (BRU) as SABENA Flight SN548, when three miles (4.8 kilometers) short of the runway at an altitude of 900 feet (274 meters), it pulled up, retracted its landing gear and accelerated.

The airliner made three 360° circles, with the angle of bank steadily increasing to 90°. The 707’s wings then leveled, followed by an abrupt pitch up. OO-SJB spiraled into a nose-down dive and crashed into an open field 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) northeast of Brussels and all 61 passengers and 11 crew members and 1 person on the ground were killed, including the entire U.S. Figure Skating Association team, their families, coaches, judges and officials.

Happy Valentine's Day from FTAir!
