Here is the link. Chris Heinz designed aircraft for the French, and then for the North American market. He built a business in Canada and designed many airplanes here and produced many kits and certified aircraft. The big export market is the USA he built plants in Missouri and Georgia. The plant in Georgia is called AMD. The CH2000 design certified in Canada is now called the Alarus and built in Gegia. The CH2000 design is now licensed to the Jordanians and being produced with upgraded power and various surveillance gear for the IRAQI air force,. So finally we Canadians have a new war bird in the skies. Unless you count the Dehavilland DHC1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series then Boeing and Bombardier. Go to www.newplane.com and then find the surveillance section. I was thinking of painting my CH2000 in up as an Iraqi warbird. I flew my CH2000 right along the border from lake of the woods to western Saskatchewan. No intercepts, no radar contacts or ???. GPS is wonderful. I was curious what the real state of alert was. When I had landed at Syracuse New York the NEW YORK ANG F-16s were tearing around the skies furiously as if ww3 had begun...

Yes the US government is going to pour a ton of money down the toilet building a fence along their northern border but they could always spend the money on Zenair surveillance aircraft. Doing so would then give a huge supply of cheap surplus parts. If you want the government to waste money at least do it on something to do with spin offs for the rest of us. Not only that their might even be cheap surplus Zenairs for the used plane market. So if you are paranoid and want a fence encourage the government to buy a ton of Zenair surveillance aircraft, train a bunch of pilots and you at least leave a positive legacy for government spending.
SO lets get those congress people building Zenairs by the hundreds!!!! Just think of the technology flow down to the rest of us on a Cost plus production plan to build a 1000 Zenair CH2000s !!!! :>)
For those who cross borders regularly it is always a stark contrast to see Robocop on the US side of the border and happy Harry and Hannah on the Canadian side (unarmed)... The fun part is when the friendly Canadians tell them yes you can come to Canada but without sufficient ID your US government won't let you back into the USA unless I reject you at the border now....
