Lockwood Aircraft Corp.
Recreational pilots know the Drifter well, as one of the most durable and fun flying airplanes in the light aviation fleet. A range has been built and Lockwood Aircraft can offer kits on an ordered basis for most models, including the deluxe Rotax 912-powered Super Drifter. On wheels or floats, Drifter is a great aerial sports car. Outside the USA, Drifter has proven its tough and long-lasting design by perform workhorse duties like banner towing or tourism flights.
While they'll be happy to ship you a Drifter kit, Lockwood Aircraft's closest attention is paid to their one-of-a-kind AirCam. This marvelous machine (I earned my multiple-engine rating in an AirCam) has attracted an intensely loyal following from nearly 200 owners who enjoy its unique flying characteristics. AirCam can fly low — in good safety — over terrain that has others flying too high to see the detail well. The design was developed for National Geographic filming over the dense jungles of Africa. AirCam operates so effectively on one engine that it can even takeoff with one engine, a feat unheard of among twin-engine aircraft. This superb ability from a sporting aircraft gives AirCam a safety margin. In flight, shutting down one engine barely changes the flight characteristics, making twin engine operation well within the capability of most pilots.

If going aloft for the fantastic view is one of the special experiences of flying, then going aloft in an AirCam is about as good as it gets. Flying low over terrain you'd never consider in another aircraft, crossing bodies of water (or forests in Africa) and the confidence to see America from an altitude that lets you take it all in are but a few reasons to think AirCam. As a twin-engine aircraft, AirCam isn't a Light-Sport. You must build the kit and fly it as an Experimental Amateur-Built aircraft. Team Lockwood is well prepared to help with the task, offering a Super Quick Build kit and backing that with some the light aircraft industry's finest technical support. Twin Rotax engines use less than 10 gallons an hour and run with exceptional smoothness thanks to Lockwood's careful design. If you haven't flown an AirCam you have not experienced all aviation has to offer. My advice? Take a demo flight ASAP!
