FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Oshkosh, WI – July 24, 2013 – Year after year, friends come back to EAA AirVenture to share their love for aviation. Some friends have just started in this new tradition and others have been doing it since AirVenture’s inception.

Our friends Jeff “Rocco” Emanuel and Jeff Barrette have been a staple at Oshkosh for many years and never leave without paying a visit to Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) in Building A, Booth 1141. Dubbed the “AIR-Bros” by their friends at AIR, the hangar chat quickly turned to a lasting friendship. Later, the two best friends would become AIR’s favorite ad on the back cover of Aviators Hot Line.

EAA AirVenture

While discussing how many insurance companies often focus on free hats and giveaways instead of quality customer service, AIR remembered one of their favorite photos of the AIR-Bros wearing hats donned with collectable windsocks and pins. This fun photo quickly became a new backdrop at their Oshkosh booth and a new ad.

AIR will host an AIR-Bros autograph session on Monday, July 29th at 11:30AM at their booth in Building A, #1141. Everyone is welcome to bring their copy of Aviators Hot Line for the Bros to sign.

Mooney Aircraft Insurance

July 1st, 2013

Mooney Aircraft InsuranceChristopher Wolbert, Regional Vice President of AIR completed his instrument rating in a Mooney twenty years ago. Despite the time that has passed, Mooney aircraft remain one of his favorite aircraft manufacturers.

“Until that point, I had completed most of my pilot training in Cessna Aircraft. The Mooney was a new and exciting experience. The aircraft’s additional speed combined with instrument training made my training challenging, but rewarding.” Chris remembers.

Founded in 1929 by Al Mooney in Wichita, Kansas, the Mooney Airplane Company has carved its place in aviation history because of its dedication to performance and innovation. Mooney has always focused on producing the highest-performing, safest and most efficient aircraft on the market. It is this focus that has allowed Mooney to set several aviation records, including:

  1. First pressurized single-engine, piston-powered aircraft (M22 Mustang).
  2. Fastest transcontinental flight in a single-engine, piston-powered production aircraft (M20K 231).
  3. First production aircraft to achieve 200 mph on 200HP (M20J 201).
  4. Several altitude records (M20K 231).
  5. First single-engine, power-control certified (FADEC) in the U.S. (M20L Porsche).
  6. Fastest piston-powered aircraft currently in production (M20M DX single).
  7. First single-engine aircraft certified for flight into known icing conditions (M20M DX w/TKS anti-icing system).
  8. More than 130 world speed records.
  9. First single-engine retractable to achieve 237 KTS (M20).
  10. And More!

Mooney aircraft combine legendary speed, robust rate-of-climb, rock-solid safety and security, innovative technology, hand-built precision craftsmanship, and unmatched value.

The Mooney Airplane Company – which has delivered more than 11,000 aircraft worldwide, a fleet that has amassed more than 40 million hours of flight – currently sells three models of the M20: Ovation2 GX, Ovation3 and Acclaim.

Van’s RV Aircraft Insurance

June 19th, 2013

Van’s RV Aircraft InsuranceFounded by Richard “Van” VanGrunsven in 1973, Van’s Aircraft, an American kit aircraft manufacturer, is most famous for its RV Aircraft series, one of the most popular homebuilt aircraft around. In fact, by the end of 2012, 8,000 RV kits had been completed and flown, with thousands more still under construction.

RV Aircraft Series

It all started with the RV-1 in 1965, when VanGrunsven modified the Stots SA-3 Playboy with a 125hp Lycoming engine. He also modified the wings, cowling and fuselage. A sailplane, the RV-2 prototype soon followed.

The first RV available for sale was the RV-3. It was single seat and renowned for its climb rate. Making room for a passenger, the RV-4 followed as a two seat tandem version of the RV-3. As the demand for RVs grew, more models were produced. The RV-5 went back to a single seat whereas the RV-6 introduced 2 seats side by side. The RV-7, 8 and 9 were made as improved versions of earlier RV models.

The first flight of the RV-10 prototype was in 2003. Many more were quickly built as pilots discovered its excellent performance and ability to carry four adults and 60 pounds of baggage.

As the RV-11 motorglider is still in the development phase, the RV-12 and 14 have hit the market. The RV-12 is Van’s Aircraft first Light Sport Aircraft, featuring wings that can be easily removed in about five minutes. Years of aircraft experience helped create the RV-14 that debuted in 2012. Van’s Aircraft boasted a quicker build time for this model and 193mph cruise speed.

Builder’s Risk Insurance

Nothing beats the feeling of someday flying an aircraft that you built yourself. But building an aircraft is also a lot of work, requiring both time and dedication. And between the hours of hard work and tough choices you will have to make, insurance coverage typically gets forgotten or ignored. But what happens if disaster strikes mid-build?

“As a friend of many aircraft builders and as a homebuilt owner myself, I can only imagine the devastation of losing an aircraft mid-build,” said Jon Harden, president and founder of Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR). “Our affordable program is worth it just for the peace of mind.”

Van’s RV Aircraft Insurance from Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR)

Piper Cub Insurance

June 14th, 2013

Piper Cub InsuranceA small yellow plane soars through the sky and is immediately spotted as the beloved Piper Cub.The Cub is a basic, no-frills aircraft that has dominated the marketplace because it is extremely reliable and versatile. It has excellent low speed manners and it can take off and land where other planes cannot. The Cub’s big brother, the Super Cub is considered by many as the ultimate backcountry airplane.

The Piper J-3 Cub was first introduced to the public in the late 1930s. This high-wing two-seater quickly became the top seller in the private plane market. In the 1940s, the Cub became the primary training plane in the Civilian Pilot Training program during World War II. The L-4 Grasshopper, a military version of the Cub, flew observation and liaison missions throughout the war. Then in 1946, demand for the Piper Cub was higher than ever. The war was over and returning military pilots were ready to embrace the American dream. 6,000 Cubs were sold that year, which is still the record for the most civilian aircraft of one type manufactured in a single year.

Over the years, Piper Aircraft has created many popular models, such as the Piper Cherokee, Arrow, Aztec and Malibu. One of the easiest to spot and classic Piper Aircraft are the beloved yellow Piper Cubs.

Today, the Cub is  recreatedby CubCrafters (Carbon Cub, Sport Cub, and Top Cub) and by American Legend Aircraft (Legend Cub, which is offered in J3 and PA11 styles).
