Olathe,  Kansas (June 23, 2008) - Elecsys  Corporation  (AMEX:  ASY),  announced
today the  appointment  of Dave  Wakefield as the new president of the Company's
Radix Corporation subsidiary.  Mr. Wakefield originally joined Radix in November
2007  and  has  been  serving  as  Vice  President  of  International   Business
Development since then.

Prior to joining Radix,  Mr.  Wakefield was a partner for six years at Sustained
Advantage, Inc., a business development consulting firm based in Lenexa, Kansas.
Earlier,  Mr.  Wakefield  spent 24 years in  various  business  development  and
operations management roles at i-Factor, BCC and the Southland Corporation.  Mr.
Wakefield holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas.

Karl  B.  Gemperli,  Elecsys'  Chief  Executive  Officer,   commented,   "Dave's
background in both business development and operations  management makes him the
ideal candidate to lead Radix into the future.  His broad experience in domestic
and international sales, coupled with his proven skills in business development,
will help  propel  Radix  into its next  phase of  growth.  The  leadership  and
initiative  Dave has  demonstrated  over the past eight  months  have  generated
significant new opportunities for expansion.  We continue to be confident in the
growth  potential  at Radix and I look  forward to working  with Dave in his new
role during this exciting period."
