Hi
Guys,<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>
What do you think were some of the most breakthrough or pivotal
pattern<BR>>> designs? When I started there the Prophecy was top dog. A
couple<BR>>> years later the Smaragd was designed. I see a lot of planes
have been<BR>>> designed off the Smaragd platform. I think the PassPort
is a heck of a<BR>>>
plane.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>
What do you guys think have been some break-out designs over the<BR>>>
years that have transformed pattern aircraft design? In the last
nine<BR>>> years, Iʼd say the Smaragd was the most transformational
plane.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>>
Thanks,<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> Jim
