Dallas Ft Worth Set For An LSA Invasion October 14-16
Addison, Denton & Dallas Executive airports in the Dallas Ft
Worth area are hosting the 2011 Dallas Ft Worth Sport Plane Tour.
Aircraft will be on display and demonstration flights available at
each of the locations in mid-October.
Bill Canino of Sportair USA, one of the participants said
“Not everyone interested in purchasing a plane can attend one
of the larger shows each year. The Sport Plane Tours have been a
great way to showcase these aircraft to a much more localized and
interested audience”. “This is the ideal format for
people to check out the top ten Sport Aircraft without the pressure
or hassle of a national show” said Randy Schlitter of Rans
Aircraft. “In fact, it’s probably the best format to
see all the main Sport Aircraft players, and demo each model”
he added.
Texas is the third largest aviation state in the nation, and the
organizers say no national event caters for this large audience of
aviators. The Dallas Fort Worth area has the highest concentration
of aviators in Texas. Within the 30 nm Mode C veil surrounding DFW
are more than 50 airports, airparks and private airfields. Also,
one of the largest LSA fleet operators and maintenance facilities
in the country, US Aviation, is based close by in Denton, just
north of DFW.
The Tour, running October 14th through 16th is visiting three
airports in the Dallas Ft. Worth area:
- Oct 14th KADS (Addison) 1400-1930 CDT Host: US Sport
Aircraft.
- Oct 15th KDTO (Denton) 0800-1600 CDT Host: US Aviation
Group.
- Oct 16th KRBD (Dallas Exec) 0800-1600 CDT Host: City of
Dallas.
"Sport pilot and Light Sport Aircraft is the new and exciting way
to get involved in flying with less time and expense”
according to Patrick Arnzen of US Sport Aircraft, one of the tour
hosts. “The Sport Aircraft tour helps to introduce people to
the Light Sport Aircraft revolution” he added. “Owning
a Light Sport Aircraft is easy, affordable, safe and fun”
said Scott Severen of US Aviation. “People wanting to
understand flying and owning Light Sport Aircraft will get to see a
full service LSA facility that provides sales, factory authorized
maintenance and repair, pre-purchase evaluations and flight
training. All of this is in their backyard at Denton
Airport.” he added. According to Remos’s Sue Parker.
“The Dallas Ft. Worth Sport Aircraft tour is an excellent way
to see what’s available, speak with flight instructors,
maintenance personnel and manufacturers all at the one easy
location”.
At each event the Sport Aircraft Tour is hosted by an
organization. The organizers are very grateful to the City of
Dallas, US Sport Aircraft and US Aviation who are the hosts for the
Dallas Ft Worth Tour. Refreshments will be available at each
location. US Aviation is holding a pancake breakfast to coincide
with the Denton stop.
