The father and son Tom Gutmann team (L-R, Junior and Senior) run Airtime Aviation, one of the country’s largest distributors of LSA. The new customer and dealer for New Mexico is Brian Longwill, a 767 captain and F-15/16 pilot. They all pose with CT number 200 in the USA.

Market leader Flight Design seems hot as a pistol and appears to be validating their plan to substantially increase production. South Central U.S. distributor Airtime Aviation delivered N200BL to Brian Longwill, their new dealer operating under the name Longwill AirCraft. And talk about beautiful timing, this also happened to be CT delivery number 50 for Airtime. Putting even a finer point on their accomplishments, Airtime got the first CT approved in the U.S., missing by mere hours being the first SLSA* in the country. *** Longwill AirCraft will base their new CT at a new airport opening in Estancia, New Mexico…east of Albuquerque and south of Moriarty. Longwill aims to attract sport aircraft of all kinds to the facility. *** Finally — call me lucky or call it a truly fine bit of advance planning, but this is also SPLOG #200. From the mail and calls I get, you love SPLOG and I’m pleased you do. Thanks for all your visits! *Honors for first SLSA go to the Sportstar.
