We’re proud to share that the Bristell M23 has been awarded the prestigious title of Light Sport GRAND CHAMPION at the 2025 Sun 'n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida.
Each year, our team makes the cross-country journey from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to attend one of the aviation industry's most anticipated events. This time, we had the privilege of making the trip in our all-new MOSAIC-ready Bristell M23 Turbo - and it didn’t disappoint.
Equipped with the turbocharged 160 HP Rotax 916iS engine, cutting-edge avionics, a climate-controlled cabin, and luxurious leather seating, the M23 delivered an exceptionally smooth and efficient flight. It was the perfect debut for our latest model, and it got us to Lakeland in record time.
The 51st edition of Sun 'n Fun was nothing short of spectacular. As always, the organizers hosted a world-class event that brought together thousands of pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and industry professionals from around the world. It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce the Bristell M23 to the wider aviation community and let visitors get an up-close look at everything this aircraft has to offer.
The highlight of the week? Watching the M23 be crowned the Light Sport Grand Champion - a huge honor and a testament to the innovation, quality, and performance built into every Bristell aircraft.
We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our display, shared their stories, and celebrated this milestone with us. We're already looking forward to what next year brings!
