Sonex had another extremely successful AirVenture Show. Beautiful weather and tremendous interest in our entire product line led to record sales. John Monnett was presented the Key to the City Award at the annual Oshkosh Mayor’s Breakfast. Special thanks to all of the Sonex Pilots who flew their aircraft in for the Open House and Show! We look forward to doing it all again next year! Some images from this year’s events:
The Sonex Open House, which was held the Sunday before the AirVenture Show was again very well attended.

We are pleased to announce an expanded Sonex and AeroConversions booth this year along with the addition of a Sonex/Waiex/Xenos Builder’s Hang Out!
This separate tent will be labeled with signs on both sides that read “Sonex Builder’s Hang Out”. This will be the perfect place to hang out with fellow builders and swap building and flying stories. There will be tables for your scrapbooks and a few bulletin boards for pictures and notes to fellow builders…great to leave a note for a friend if you plan to meet at our booth. We will also have nametags available for builders that we encourage you to wear. We’ll also have a Sonex “under construction” in the center of our display if you want to talk about specific areas of construction.
The Sonex booth will have a Yellow Prototype of each model all with AeroVee Power- The Sonex Sport Trainer, Waiex, and Xenos.
Also, due to AirVenture Attendance, Sonex will be closed from Monday, July 25th through Monday, August 1st. We will be checking e-mail during the week, but no shipments will be able to go out during AirVenture.

A few notes to pass along about the AirVenture Fly-In, coming up in a few weeks (July 25-31,2005):
Sonex, Ltd. and AeroConversions, Inc will have the same booth spaces as previous years (N464, N465, and N466) in the North Display Area near EAA’s Homebuilt Headquarters. Check out the Sonex Links and Events for the schedule of Sonex Events for the week.
We have prepared a file with maps and instructions for Sonex Pilots for the Open House and Parking during the AirVenture show: AirVenture_05_Pilots.pdf (no longer available, view current map to factory).
We have been contacted by a number of builders who would like to arrange for part pick-ups during the AirVenture Show. All part pick-up appointments must be arranged through Heather at: heather@sonex-ltd.com
The Sonex Factory will be closed between the hours of 8AM and 5PM for the entire week of AirVenture due to our entire staff and fleet of aircraft being relocated to out booth on the AirVenture grounds.
We will do our best to accommodate your part pick-up during the open house and during the week between the hours of 5:30PM and 6:30PM. We respectfully ask that no part pick-ups take place during the Sonex Party as it has grown so large that its difficult for us to be good hosts and still try to coordinate part pick-ups.
For those of you picking up parts by appointment between the hours of 5:30PM and 6:30PM, a special pass must be picked up at the Sonex Booth to allow you past the perimeter road police guard.
We hope to see you at the Oshkosh AirShow!
