One the highlights of the last two AirVenture Oshkosh shows has been the LSA Mall. Three dozen models are showcased where visitors can easily see them all in one location. A dedicated LSA Exhibit Area is in planning for the 2008 event. Photo courtesy EAA
For the past two years at their big airshow, EAA has provided an exceptional space to LSA manufacturers and importers. The LSA Mall — right next to show-central AeroShell Square — has attracted thousands of pilots and others interested in looking at all Light-Sport Aircraft in one location. Though the space EAA has offered for the LSA Mall is in great demand, they are using it to help showcase LSA for an unprecedented third year in a row! I took a call this morning from EAA President Tom Poberezny to confirm plans he and I discussed at AOPA’s November Expo in Palm Springs. EAA has hired show experts and engineers to assist them in planning changes for their huge event. Management will present ideas to their board in May and will formally announce a site plan at AirVenture 2007. Implementation for significant changes will start immediately after the show ends, Tom added. EAA has given much help to the emerging LSA segment and the association’s leadership continues to show with these plans.
