—Tom Hamilton, GlaStar Design Team Leader

Glasair Aviation, LLC, the company that introduced the world to the concept of "fast glass" with its acclaimed Glasair line, brings you something completely different: The GlaStar—an aircraft for the pilot who rejects compromise, whose flying missions are diverse and demanding, and whose airplane had better be ready to go . . . anywhere, anytime.

The GlaStar owner's logbook looks like no other:

9/21 — Returned from three-day fishing trip to remote mountain lake on floats. 220 lbs. of gear . . . & 30 lbs. of trout!
9/22 — 'Star back on tricycle gear. Daughter signed off for first solo after only 5 hrs. of instruction!
9/23 — Business meeting in Chicago. Solid IMC all the way. Average speed, chock-to-chock: 142 kts.!
9/24 — Removed door to take aerial photos of work site. Hands-off turns around a point at 60 kts.!
9/25 — Getaway weekend at golf resort. Two sets of clubs, all our bags and a rough, 900 ft. grass strip—no problem!

What a diverse set of flying missions! The only unifying threads are fun and adventure!
