The Chairman of the US Sport Aviation Expo, scheduled for January 20-23, 2011 at Sebring Regional Airport, Florida is pleased to announce that exhibitor response seems as good as or better than in years past. “We actually have a waiting list for inside exhibit spaces and have very few outside spaces remaining for the January show”, says Bob Wood, Expo Chairman. “The staff mailed out contracts about two weeks back and we are now starting to receive signed documents with payments. We will have a few cancellations, as that is normal, however any business not now with a contract should contact us without delay.”
While some few exhibitors have dropped out, this has been more than made up for by new exhibitors identified at AirVenture and through advertising. The show has a few more outside spaces than in the past and a few less inside spaces. This is due to reconfiguring the main inside exhibit area to have all inside exhibits in one large tent as compared to the past when we used a number of smaller tents.
For Expo 2011, the FAA will establish a control tower to control all traffic, including Expo demonstration aircraft. The tower will be in operation from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day during the show. This will provide time for Power Parachute operations when the tower is not operational.
The event can be checked out on the website at www.sport-aviation-expo.com, which has a listing of expected exhibitors in addition to other tourist activities in our area during this period. The website is updated frequently. Additional information about the show can be obtained by contacting us at expo@sebring-airport.comor by calling 863-655-6444 Ext. 117.
