Aero-News Kicks Off April 1st With A Bang!

Wild, Crazy, Too-Good-to-Be-True 'What-Ifs' Abound at Peak of SnF23

After a full week of very serious, professional work the Aero News crew is cutting loose for some April Fool's shenanigans!

This year we went above and beyond, swinging for the fences with as many kooky stories as we could think of - everything from "what if?…" news stories to glimpses of a possible future yet to come. This year, we've been swinging for the fences, too, with nothing too off-the wall - Did you hear about the new mini A-380 Airbus released at Sun 'n Fun? What about the impending FAA Rule banning all gas engines in the next 2 years? Beech bringing back the Starship? What about the Yoplait-sponsored NASA mission to Mars? Have you seen the NBAA is now sponsored by a gambling company? That's just the start!

Santa Monica airport has been sold to the good guys, the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds are swapping planes for a day, the Cirrus Vision Jet is getting a drogue chute, and the FAA is going whole-hog on 'neopronouncs' for aircraft. The DoD is selling F-22 lookalike LSA's, the Taliban's having a yard sale, PETA's suing Ameriflight, and Cessna now offers their wares without any avionics whatsoever.

Check out our roster of stories from bizarro world and see if your friends will buy 'em. Hopefully no one takes this news too seriously - but if they do, tell them Aero News says 'April Fool's!'
