Wipaire delivered the 500th set of 2100A floats in March of 2021. They were installed on the Aviat A-1C-180 Husky by Wipaire Inc. This aircraft will be on display at the Wipaire Booth (MD-032B) on Friday, April 16th during the Sun n’ Fun airshow in Lakeland, Florida.
“The Wipline 2100A is the best-selling float in its class. This milestone delivery reflects the durability and reliability of the design and construction. Since the first set was certified in 1997, this model of amphibious float has remained number one choice for owners of smaller aircraft,” said Chuck Wiplinger, President and CEO of Wipaire, Inc, “We want to thank our employees for reaching this historic delivery and all the customers who trust us with their aircraft.”
