Aviation Association (SCAA) expects a large turnout for its first
Southeast Aviation Show," said SCAA President Eric Ramsdell.
"The aviation community in the
Southeast is very strong and we expect a great turnout for the
first show," said Joe Frasher, Airport Director of the Greenville
Downtown Airport. "We would like to encourage people to register to attend online. This will
help us to have an idea of how many people to plan on and it will
also get them admitted into the event quicker," he said.
The keynote speaker for the event will
be Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) President Craig
Fuller. The event has been marketed to many groups from high school
guidance counselors all the way to experienced pilots. The show
will offer something for everyone interested in aviation. Education
sessions will be held throughout the day. Aviation enthusiasts can
learn how to become a pilot and experienced pilots can learn about
latest technology to include iPads in the cockpit.
Admission for the event is $5 for
adults. Children and students will be admitted at no charge.
