LSA expected at AOPA Expo 2008: American Legend (Cub); Flight Design (CTLS); Gobosh (G700S); CubCrafters (Sport Cub); Icon (A5); IndUS (diesel Thorpedo); Jabiru USA (J-230SP); Light Sport America (Storm Rally); LSA West (Remos GX); Sportair (Sting S3); Skyview (Skylark); Tecnam (Eaglet); Sport Aircraft Works (Mermaid), Cessna (Skycatcher), and Cirrus (SRS).
Everyone is talking about tough economic times and aviators note the effect on the LSA and GA industries. But that won’t stop a good selection of Light-Sport Aircraft from appearing at AOPA’s annual Expo, this year in San Jose, California over November 6-7-8. In fact, with 60+ display airplanes expected and 14-15 of them LSA (list below photo), the light sector once again has a strong presence. *** Thanks to cooperation from AOPA static aircraft display organizers, LSA will once again be presented largely as a group (think LSA Mall). And the location for the collected LSA is sweet indeed: immediately inside the entryway to AOPA’s static aircraft display at Norman Mineta airport. You won’t be able to miss the LSA collection, so come on out and do a little shopping. *** In addition to aircraft displays, AOPA offers a wide range of seminars, including two presentations I will give called, “State of the Light-Sport Aircraft Industry” (TH-11/6 and SA-11/8, both at 11 AM to noon). Come hear the latest market shares and much more. AOPA’s Expo offers a lot to do. Have a glance at the overall schedule. Or, check out the seminar schedule.
