The brand-new LSA Mall at AirVenture Oshkosh is full with a wait list. “First ever?” “Brand-new?” Confused? No wonder as thanks to the generosity of EAA, LSA producers or importers have enjoyed an LSA Mall at AirVenture for the last four years. *** Now, however, the industry — through LAMA, the Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association — has purchased space and will host its own (hopefully permanent) LSA Mall in an all-new section of the Main Aircraft Display Area. With few exceptions, all the top LSA companies will be represented and others not in the LSA Mall are exhibiting very nearby in what is shaping up as the “LSA Area.” *** The new location is shown in the accompanying graphic, but some will recognize that for many years the space was home to the Fly Market, which has now moved closer to the campground. A new paved road leads directly to the LSA Mall and it is a mere 500 paces from the front gate. In addition to 17 handsome Light-Sport Aircraft models, the LAMA tent on-site will contain other key suppliers including engine displays. *** Over the years of LSA Malls at AirVenture, Sun ‘n Fun and others, airshow attendees have expressed appreciation for collecting many of the best LSA in one convenient location because the primary displays for these companies are scattered all over the immense grounds of these events, which demands a lot of walking to compare and contrast models.
