CARLSBAD, CA, SEPTEMBER 19, 2008 – Austin Blue, President of Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC, today announced plans to exhibit at the National Business Aviation Association’s (NBAA’s) inaugural Light Business Airplane Exhibition and & Conference (LBA).

The new NBAA event will be held in San Diego, CA from March 12-14, 2009, and will feature exhibits, educational sessions and a static display of airplanes all designed specifically for operators who rely on light business airplanes to help their companies succeed.

Ed Bolen, President and CEO of NBAA stated: “We are delighted to welcome Spectrum Aeronautical as an exhibitor at our first Light Business Airplane event. We’re also pleased that Austin Blue has agreed to serve on the committee of local industry experts who are helping guide our planning for the show. Austin is a visionary whose experience with light business airplane operations will help ensure that our new event is highly valued by those in attendance.”

Blue noted: “We applaud NBAA for developing an event directed at a dynamic and exciting part of the business airplane market. Also, in providing a West Coast venue, NBAA’s event presents an excellent opportunity to showcase our aircraft and their capabilities. The exhibition will specifically address the interests of our customers, and as an added bonus it is practically in our back yard.”

Spectrum’s Director of Sales, Gary Bushouse, added, “NBAA has really hit one out of the park with this event. Its West Coast location will provide options for those who may not get to Orlando this year. Also, specifically addressing light business aircraft operations is right on target with the direction of a key part of the industry.”

“We are looking forward to the LBA event as well as next year’s NBAA Convention in Orlando,” continued Blue. “While we’re focusing on the LBA for the short term, we also plan on being in Orlando next year and look forward to participating in the LBA event on an annual basis as well.”

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC
Spectrum Aeronautical, LLC, has operations in Spanish Fork, UT and in Carlsbad, California. The privately held company is developing the Freedom S.40, an eight-place mid-sized jet powered by GE Honda Aero Engines HF-120 fanjets, scheduled for certification in 2010; and also the Independence S.33, a seven-place light jet using Williams International’s FJ33-4A jet engines, scheduled for certification during 2011.

Both aircraft feature the company’s revolutionary fibeXTM advanced composite material technology, resulting in empty weights that are about 40% less than comparably sized aluminum aircraft. The light weight, combined with efficient next-generation fanjet engines, allows significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
