Triple R Affordable Aircraft, a company dedicated to providing a formal, accountable method of refurbishing aircraft to nearly new condition and marketing them at attractive prices, announced its formation at AirVenture. Triple R's president isAVweb publisherTom Bliss, but he explained to a press conference at AirVenture this week thatTriple R is not anAVwebcompany, project or joint venture. Blissexplained that there were only 754 new piston-engine airplanes delivered in the U.S. last year. At current prices, his data indicate that only 0.05 percent of Americans can afford a new aircraft and less than 1 percent of American pilots will buy a new airplane this year.
