Olathe,  Kansas (June 23, 2008) - Elecsys  Corporation  (AMEX:  ASY),  announced
today the  appointment  of Dave  Wakefield as the new president of the Company's

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."
