Scott Hughes, Hughes Aero Corporation
We visit with Scott Hughes about both good news and bad news. The good news is that the Predator powered parachute won a pair of awards at Sun 'n Fun this year.

We talk about how that will effect the popular Color Country Chute Festival and competition event. Hughes Aero Corporation
