The inaugural U.S. Flight Expo kicks off early next month at Marana Regional Airport (KAVQ) near Tucson, Arizona. Show organizers say the event will focus on the markets other than certified aircraft—particularly light sport and experimental. Their goal is to put on a show where aircraft buyers have easy access to manufacturers to get questions answered and, for the serious shoppers, to take demo flights. Some of the better-known manufacturers committed to attend include Tecnam, Pipistrel, Vans, Stemme, Glasair and Kitfox.
The Commemorative Air Force B-25 “Maid in the Shade” will be in attendance and offering rides on May 5 and 6. The show runs from May 3 to May 6. More information is available at usflightexpo.com.
