                       Tuesday, September 7, 2004

  Mr. TANCREDO. Mr. Speaker, one of my greatest joys is to see 
businesses in my district flourish. Today, I am honored to recognize 
Adam Aircraft based out of Centennial Airport in Englewood, Colorado. 
Adam Aircraft designs and manufactures advanced aircraft for civil and 
government markets.
  On August 17, 2004, the company marked the first anniversary of the 
A700's debut, which is undergoing initial flight testing. The A700 
being the first personal aircraft with an installed interior featuring 
seven seats and an aft lavatory.
  In addition to the A700, Adam Aircraft has also made a big showing at 
the EAA AirVenture 2004 with the A500. The A500 has accumulated three 
national and two world records for speed over a recognized course and 
is currently approaching FAA certification by the end of 2004.
  Adam Aircraft is building a strong customer base and took a record 
nine orders for its two aircraft models at the EAA AirVenture 2004 
show. Currently they have also taken over 60 orders for the A500 and 
they promise to be a strong employer for Colorado for the years to 
come.
  Mr. Speaker, the back bone of any community is the businesses that 
operate there. It is my distinct pleasure to honor one of those 
businesses Adam Aircraft here today, and wish them all the best in her 
future endeavors.
