By General Aviation News Staff · July 6, 2018 ·

Oshkosh, Wisconsin — Sonex Aircraft will hold the first-ever SubSonex Factory Seminar on Thursday, July 26, 2018, during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.

The event, which will take place from 3-5 p.m. at Sonex Aircraft factory headquarters on the East side of Wittman Regional Airport (KOSH), will be a “very focused informational session for those seriously considering purchase of a SubSonex,” company officials said.

Bob Carlton flies the SubSonex.

Topics include:

  • SubSonex Walk-Around, Design Overview and Brief History;
  • The PBS TJ-100 Turbojet Engine;
  • Flight Characteristics, Pilot Qualifications and Training;
  • Aircraft Certification in Exhibition and Amateur Built Categories;
  • What to do with Your Jet? Recreational Flying, Airshows and even Air Racing;
  • Project Overview: Completing a SubSonex Kit.

Presenters include John Monnett, Sonex Aircraft, owner, designer of the SubSonex and SubSonex pilot; Bob Carlton, a SubSonex airshow pilot and owner of the SubSonex training program; Pete Zaccagnino, three-time Reno Gold Champion race pilot and SubSonex race pilot; and Paul Dye, Kitplanes Magazine Editor-in-Chief, SubSonex pilot and new SubSonex kit customer.

Attendees may drive directly to Sonex Aircraft factory headquarters or take advantage of Sonex Aircraft shuttles from AirVenture grounds. Passengers will be given a time to meet at the Sonex exhibit booth #622 to be transported to the event, and transportation will be provided back to the AirVenture grounds at the conclusion of the event.

Space is limited, and transportation sign-ups will be offered on a first come, first served basis, company officials note.
