Liberty Aerospace Delivers First XL2 to Australia

Melbourne, Australia (February 22, 2007) -- Liberty Aerospace, Inc., a general aviation aircraft manufacturer based in Melbourne, FL, recently completed its first Australian delivery to Nigel Hutchinson-Brooks in Melbourne, Australia.  The US-built aircraft was placed into a sea freight container in December and shipped under recently-awarded Australian Type Acceptance Certificate A234.

“The ocean container arrived last week and the aircraft was in perfect shape,” stated Hutchinson-Brooks, managing director of Liberty Aircraft Company Pty Ltd, the Australian distributor for the Liberty XL2.  “After a thorough inspection, the wings were installed, the engine prepped and VH-LXL was ready to fly.”

Liberty Aerospace CEO Anthony Tiarks added, “Our first delivery to this region is an important accomplishment in our global expansion plans.  We are thrilled for Nigel and the market potential he represents in Australia.”

The aircraft will be on display at the upcoming Australian International Air Show in Melbourne on March 20–25.  “Of course, I plan to take a few moments to enjoy my new aircraft before getting down to business and flying with potential clients,” declared Hutchinson-Brooks.
