Taking Off In A New Direction, Jerry Meyer, January 31, 2021 (S9E6)
With 2020 behind us and with high hopes for a great 2021, what better way to change our mindset, than sitting down and talking aviation.\xa0 During our last 9 seasons, the SimpleFlight crew has had the pleasure of hosting north of 200 guests., with a focus on finding amazing people doing amazing things in aviation.\xa0 \xa0And this week's show is no different.\xa0
In some people's opinion, the LSA market has not lived up to its expectations, but there are companies that saw the LSA as an opportunity to reach out to new customers and deliver on new missions.\xa0 One such company is Icon Aircraft (https://www.iconaircraft.com/).\xa0
With Brandon running into technical challenges, Marc went solo in talking with Jerry Meyer, Director of Marketing for Icon.\xa0 While not a household name to many of us in GA, Jerry brings a strong background in aviation (naval pilot) and brand management to his role at Icon.\xa0 There were a lot of questions for Jerry and we invite you to listen in and learn about Icon's aircraft, it's culture, its go to market strategy, and what makes the company so special.\xa0\xa0
We're wondering if any of you are flying the Icon A5 or other Amphib.\xa0 We'd love to hear your experience and have you enlighten the rest of us landlubbers about the joys of landing on a "wet" runway.\xa0 Please share them with the rest of the SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community @simpleflightradio
Thanks for being a part of the SimpleFlight Family!!
