Zenith Aircraft Company's 15th annual Open Hangar Day has been scheduled for Saturday, August 19, 2006, at the Mexico Memorial Airport in Missouri. All aviation enthusiasts are invited to drive or fly-in starting at 8:00 AM.

The 20,000 sq.ft. Zenith Aircraft kit production facilities will be open to the public for factory tours and Zenith's factory-demonstrator kit aircraft will be on display. The company's new 12-foot CNC router will be producing parts and factory staff will be on hand to demonstrate light aircraft manufacturing techniques. Also, a new Zodiac XL Quick Build Kit will also be on display.

More than 500 aviation enthusiasts visited last year’s Open Hangar day, and numerous aircraft flew in from across the Midwest to attend the annual event, including antique and other kit aircraft designs. 

On the same day, at the same airport, will be the first-ever Mexico Elks Military Appreciation Day Airshow, featuring performers from Dave Dacy Airshows. The airshow starts at 12:30 pm. There will be a $3.00 per person admission fee for the airshow. Kids 12 and under are free. Food, refreshments and children's activities will be available at the airport.
