LoPresti grand opening Dec. 5

By Janice Wood · November 30, 2009 ·

LoPresti Aviation has slated its grand opening at its new location at Sebastian Municipal Airport (X26) in Florida for the first Saturday of December.

The Dec. 5 celebrations will feature J.W. “Corkey” Fornof speaking about his life in the movie industry as a Hollywood aerial stunt pilot, camera man, aerial coordinator and an aerial director. The day will also include a special LoPrestiFury Air Show, as well as hot air balloon rides, skydiving, antique cars, aircraft static displays, vendor displays, door prizes, raffles and discounts.

After more than 20 years in Vero Beach, LoPresti moved to Sebastian, where it has a new engineering facility and new offices on the east side of the airport. The engineering facility is the first “green” hangar built in Florida, LoPresti officials note.
