*A blade of lightning splits the darkening sky, illuminating the rain-lashed tarmac in a stark, electric instant. Inside the cockpit of the Avalon 220, the air is charged—not just with ozone, but with a taut, restless energy that thrums through the fuselage.

The Avalon whines—a high, metallic protest—its instrument panels pulsing with urgent light, demanding the freedom to fly straight into the lethal weather.*
