Default Exp Aircraft is now an official "Air Agency" Yee ha!

It only took a year and untold man hours of manual writing, haggling, revisions etc. with the FAA to get this done.

A personal milestone for me both personally and professionally.

Bring on your transponders and altimeters, we will get them done

Congratulations Walt!! I know it's been a very long and difficult road for you, espeically since you've had to educate your Fed;s (we routinely and continually do the same).

I'm happy to call you a colleague!

Cheers,
Stein

Having dealt with the FAA for the past 25 years, I can understand the toils required to get that certificate! Congratulations, Walt!
