Glass sweeps draws the crowds
AOPA’s Big Yellow Tent has been a beacon, drawing in thousands of visitors already in the first few days of Oshkosh. While many come for the giveaways, the real draw is AOPA’s 2008 Get Your Glass Sweepstakes Archer. The fully glass-equipped airplane is almost finished, and members love the beautiful metallic paint, interior, black leather seats, avionics, and engine work so much they are asking who did the work. (Here’s a hint: All three of the shops are listed on the airplane somewhere. But if you can’t find it, check our sweeps page.) The Archer has Aspen Avionics EFD1000 serial number one, and it is running like a top. Come by and see it, and much more, at the tent. Read more about the Archer at Oshkosh in AOPA Pilot Associate Editor Ian Twombly’s blog.
