Regional Show Geared Towards Pilots, Aviation Enthusiasts
The Greenville Downtown Airport (KGMU) in South
Carolina is planning to host a new Southeast Aviation Show,
sponsored by the South Carolina Aviation Association (SCAA). The
October event will showcase the latest aviation products, a static
aircraft display and educational sessions. It will open to the
public for a five dollar admission fee, and companies that sell
aviation related products can exhibit and possibly host a twenty
minute educational session.
"For 28 years, the Northwest area of the United States has had an
aviation conference and trade show that attracts more than 10,000
people a year," according SCAA President Eric Ramsdell. "The SCAA
wants to provide a show for aviation enthusiasts in our region,"
Ramsdell said.
"The aviation community in the Southeast is very strong and we
expect a great turnout for the first show," stated Joe Frasher,
GMU's Airport Director. "If it takes off, as planned, we'd
love to grow the event each year," said Frasher. "GMU is
within walking distance of the Carolina First Center, which is a
huge conference center and in the future we would love to have the
Southeast Aviation Show grow into that facility," Frasher
added.
KGMU is the busiest general aviation airport in South Carolina and
is a self-sufficient entity with financial strength that doesn't
rely on local taxpayers for funding. The airport is home to more
than 25 aviation-related businesses creating 453 jobs that annually
contribute more than $35.2 million to the region's economy.
