Each\nof these aircraft are ADS-B Out equipped, using Trig\u2019s light weight and compact\ncertified avionics. Team leader Chip Lamb said, \u201cWe\u2019ve been flying with Trig\ntransponders and radios throughout the 2019 display season.

As a company we have become the avionics of\nchoice in many classic aircraft including the P-51, B-17, Spitfire and of\ncourse the T-28 Trojan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many warbirds operate as \u2018experimental\u2019 aircraft, Trig\u2019s\nTN72 ADS-B bundle is suitable for any experimental or light-sport aircraft to\nbecome 2020 compliant. It is a highly cost-effective package that contains the\nTT22 Mode S 1090ES transponder, a TN72 GPS Position Source and a GPS antenna called\nthe TA70.

He is a true American hero, and will be joining the Trojan Phlyers,\nsigning his autobiography at NWOC.\u201d In 1960 Colonel Kittinger set the record\nfor the world\u2019s highest skydive, from a height of 19 miles. Later in life, he\nparticipated in the Red Bull Stratos project at the age of 84. He helped direct\nFelix Baumgartner\u2019s successful record-breaking freefall jump of 25 miles in\n2014, working as capsule communicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon Roper said, \u201cAttendees to NWOC are welcome to visit the\nTrig display in the conference exhibition area, this will be located next to\nthe Trojan Phlyers stand.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trig Avionics is honoring veterans, past and present by helping keep vintage warbirds in the air.
