GA manufacturers to hold expos in Southeast states

By Janice Wood · February 18, 2009 ·

The 2009 Aircraft Expo Series is a chance for serious aircraft shoppers to compare all the leading models at an airport close to their home.

A group of leading general aviation aircraft manufacturers and dealers said on Feb. 17 that they are launching a series of events to provide aircraft buyers the chance to see and compare major aircraft models on one day in one location.

Among the manufacturers scheduled to participate are Cessna, Daher-Socata, Diamond, Hawker Beechcraft, Husky, Liberty, Mooney, Piper and Remos, with others to be announced.

The Aircraft Expos will be held in Florida, Texas and throughout the Southeast, the group said. The Florida Aircraft Expo begins February 26 at St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport (PIE). The Southeastern Aircraft Expo begins March 3 in Atlanta and the Texas Aircraft Expo on March 12 in Houston.

“These Expo events give serious aircraft shoppers a chance to compare all the latest models at airports close to where they live,” said Fred Ahles, president of Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc. and a participant in the events. “The Southeast and Texas Aircraft Expo events were extremely well attended last year and we anticipate the same level of interest this year in Florida.

“Anyone interested in owning a new airplane doesn’t want to miss an Aircraft Expo event when it comes to an airport near them,” Ahles said.
