If You Want To See What’s Going On In The World Of Light Sport Aviation, The Annual U.S. Sport Aviation Expo In Sebring Florida Is The Place To See It All
The 2015 annual U.S. Sport Aviation Expo will open one day earlier than in year’s past, with the event now running from Wednesday, January 14, through Saturday, January 17, 2015. The Expo, held on Sebring Regional Airport, is the place to see, try, fly, and buy everything related to sport aviation and flying for fun.
Expo Director Jana Filip explained the change, “We’ve observed that attendance on Sunday traditionally has been lower than other exhibit days, and our survey results indicated our visitors from around the country like to fly home on Sunday. So, amending our dates seemed like the best way to offer a better event for both our exhibitors and our visitors…and it’s good for our volunteers, too!” Filip noted that other major aviation events have moved to similar formats with good success. “We think this schedule will be better for everyone.”
During the 2014 Expo, more than 140 indoor and outdoor exhibitors offered a wide variety of aircraft and aviation supplies for owners of ultralights, light-sport and homebuilt aircraft. Many vendors reported brisk sales during the event, and manufacturers and visitors were delighted with their ability to fly a variety of aircraft throughout the week.
With 160 exhibitor’s spaces available in 2015, Filip confirmed that the Expo will again offer extra benefits to exhibitors who enter into partner or sponsorship agreements with the Expo. The Expo will offer onsite overnight camping for homebuilt aircraft as well as special display parking space for owners to showcase their aircraft. “We’re delighted to welcome homebuilders to our event,” Filip said. “We know they have many similar product needs as owners of light-sport aircraft, so the Expo is a great place for homebuilders to shop as well.”
