Precise Flight, Inc. Sponsors Barrington Irving's Experience Aviation World Tour

BEND, Ore., Feb. 1, 2006 -- When 22-year-old Barrington Irving decided to become the youngest man - and the first African-American - to fly solo around the world, he wanted his plane to be equipped with safety products from Precise Flight, Inc. (http://www.preciseflight.com). The Bend-based manufacturer really came through.

When Irving picks up his custom-made Columbia 400 from Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation's world headquarters in Bend (http://www.flycolumbia.com) on Feb. 6th, 2006, the ultra high performance plane will be sporting a pair of Precise Flight SpeedBrakes(TM), a built-in Nelson Oxygen System, Flap Controls, Trim Controls, Annunciator and Backlit Panels sponsored on the aircraft by Precise Flight.
A Precise Flight Pulselite(R) System is scheduled to be installed closer to Irving's May 4, 2006 flight launch from Miami's Opa-Locka Airport (KOPF).

Irving, who is founder and president of the nonprofit organization Experience Aviation (http://www.experienceaviation.org), will embark on an east to west flight path and return to Opa-Locka on June 2, 2006. The trip, dubbed the Experience Aviation World Tour, will require 21 refueling stops and 91 hours of flight time over 30 days. It will be an intense period of flying, but Irving is doing it to show America's underprivileged youth they can achieve their dreams.

"The Experience Aviation World Tour will demonstrate to underprivileged and uninformed youth that they, too, have the potential for successful careers in the aerospace and aviation industries," Irving explained. "I hope young people from all walks of life will look at me and realize that if I can do it, so can they."

Precise Flight has chosen Bend photographer Dustin Mitsch, owner of Alpen Exposure (http://www.alpenexposure.com), to photograph all events associated with the company's sponsorship of the Experience Aviation World Tour. It is a service Mitsch says he is excited to provide.

"The extent to which Barrington Irving is using his passion and his talent to motivate the next generation of aviators is inspiring," Mitsch stated. "I have been working with Precise Flight since last summer, and when they asked me to become involved with this project, I was immediately intrigued. I look forward to following Mr. Irving's career far into the future."
