Thrush Aircraft reported that 2023 was a record year for the company. “Aircraft deliveries increased again in 2023 to the highest levels since we re-launched Thrush over four years ago,” said CEO Mark McDonald. “We had a record sales year. We certified new aircraft models and delivered them to multiple countries, delighting our customers. We sold out of one of our product lines, dramatically improved our spares and support services, and our safety record continues to lead the industry.”

The FAA’s 46th annual General Aviation and Part 135 Activity Survey (GA Survey) continues. Emails and post cards have already been sent out to those aircraft owners selected to participate. The initial round of paper surveys to small fleets (two or less aircraft) will be sent on Friday, March 15, 2024, and paper surveys to large fleets (three or more aircraft) will be sent on Friday, March 22, 2024. Please note that you should not share your survey link publicly or with anyone else. It was only shared with the survey sample, and not every aircraft owner will be able to access the survey.
