PROFESSIONAL AVIATION ANNOUNCES NEW DISTRIBUTORSHIP FOR
ALLPROTECT PRODUCT Professional Aviation Associates, a Greenwich AeroGroup company, announces it is now a distributor for ALLProtect, a protective covering product from Colorado-based SurfaceLiner+. ALLProtect provides temporary, padded and non-slip surface protection for floors, stairs, sidewalls, bulkheads, galleys, wing leading edges, cabin windows, cockpit windshields, painted surfaces and other aircraft surfaces. It easily cuts to size and is reusable. “We strive to offer customers
products that can improve safety, efficiency and the quality of their work,” says vice president and general manager for Professional Aviation Associates, Daniel Lafrance. “ALLProtect is an exciting addition. It meets and exceeds the high- quality standards our customers expect from us.” The protective covering is ideal for long- and short-term applications. The polyethylene adhesive backing creates a liquid barrier against spills, which allows for vertical applications without additional tape. It remains non-slip when wet or greasy. “We’re thrilled to partner with
Professional Aviation Associates,” says director of sales for SurfaceLiner+, Mary Altman. “Its worldwide distribution network and expertise on a wide range of products will provide the opportunity to effectively introduce a higher level of safety and protection to professionals with ALLProtect.” Professional Aviation Associates

for cabin windows and cockpit windshields. All products are available in various roll sizes, and the original gray is available in perforated rolls.
EAA AIRVENTURE OSHKOSH
2020 CANCELED EAA announces that it’s annual Airventure Fly-in has been canceled. Here is the notice from EAA’s Chairman Jack Pelton. “We Don’t Gamble, We Need A Sure Thing AirVenture 2020 is officially canceled My fellow EAA’rs. It is May here
in Wisconsin, and unfortunately like many of you across the country, we are still under a stay at home order through May 26. Normally, this is the month when we start our preflight planning for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. By this time, we should have begun ramping up our entire site in preparation for our July convention. Volunteers from across the country and world would have descended on Oshkosh. Together they would have formed work parties, our suppliers would begin start setting up tents and infrastructure. Our EAA staff would be printing wrist bands, campers guides, programs and an assortment of EAA collateral as full- on AirVenture execution begins. But because of circumstances
beyond our control, none of this can happen now. We cannot even get to the hangar so our preflight is left to watching the prog charts. While this certainly makes the ability to prepare for the event a scheduling problem, it does not preclude the bigger issue of predicting what will be the health guidelines in July. Right now, there are three phases that have been defined in Wisconsin as the recommended procedures. As I write this, we are not in Phase 1 yet. Phase 2 restricts gatherings to 50 people. Phase 3 allows for mass gathering with restrictions.
Our convention attracts EAA members not only from the U.S. but around the world. Today we cannot predict when we will be at a point that our event meets the all clear Phase 3 milestone for mass gathering with restrictions. As your leader, I see no clear path to meet our own requirements to insure the health and safety expectations our organization demands for our employees, members, volunteers, exhibitors and attendees. That includes sanitization, separation and personal protection requirements.
My conclusion is, like in any good flight planning, don’t take the risk. Therefore, I have no choice but to cancel AirVenture 2020. Together, we can come back stronger, safer and ready for AirVenture 2021 and create a memorable world class aviation event. Because of our dedicated and enthusiastic EAA members, our Association is strong. We know that at some point this storm will pass. And over the next 12 months we will continue to support all of you as we again, together, grow EAA in the Spirit of Aviation. Respectfully, Jack J. Pelton Experimental Aircraft Association” CEO and Chairman of the Board
