A new Sport Aircraft center for Florida

By General Aviation News Staff · March 2, 2006 ·

Sportsplanes.com, a major Light Sport Aircraft distributor, has established a Sport Aircraft Regional Center (SARC) for central and northern Florida. It is the latest in a growing number of SARC territories across the United States.

Darrell Hamilton opened the center with a Breezer aircraft, to be used for flight training and demonstrations. Hamilton expects to establish a number of aircraft sales and maintenance centers, along with flight training operations, in central and northern Florida, beginning at Tarpon Springs.

Hamilton’s center represents the 18th “wing” of Sportsplanes.com, which plans another 28 SARCs over the next year or two.
