Obviously this Ag Pilot flies like he is an important

goes a long way some days when we know we are pushing ourselves.
Ethan and Evan, you are lucky nephews!

| New GE Engine for Use in Ag Aircraft |
| GE Aviation announced in April there’s a new engine now available for use in agricultural aircraft. Late last year the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certified GE’s H80 turboprop engine and now it has been certified by the FAA. The engine is being marketed toward the Thrush 510G as its initial launch customer. The H80 turboprop has been in development in the Czech Republic for the last several years and will feature an extended service life of 3,600 flight-hours or 6,600 cycles between overhauls. GE states it will also provide the option of either a single- or dual-acting governor, allowing for more flexibility in propeller selection. “The engine combines the elegant, robust design of the Walter M601 engine with GE’s 3-D aerodynamic design techniques and advanced materials to create a more powerful, fuel-efficient, durable engine with no recurrent fuel-nozzle inspections and no hot-section inspection,” the company stated. The Walter M601 was acquired by GE when they bought Walter Aircraft Engines.
GE’s new H80 engine is the first from the company to be manufactured outside the U.S. and the first to get its initial certification from the EASA. GE anticipates producing 70 of the new engines in 2012.

Award of Excellence
At the Yorkton Chamber Celebrate Business Success Awards in March, our team at Yorkton Aircraft was one of 3 recipients amongst 6 finalists in the Award of Excellence Category!
This award is warmly received by Allan and I as a HUGE Thank YOU to our STAFF at Yorkton Aircraft. We may be the foolish owners but our staff's dedication and loyalty to us is what
separates us apart and enabled this company to gain this recognition.
As local Yorkton residents it is a thrill for them and an outstanding achievement!
Not all of our team was able to be here this night, but we had fun!
Congratulations to the other Award Winners, Harley Davidson of Yorkton, and the law
firm of Rusnak, Balacko, Kachur, Rusnak.
Hmmm aircraft fixers, bike fixers and a lawyer group...
interesting mix!
