Aircraft Spruce to sponsor Aviation Expo

By General Aviation News Staff · July 16, 2014 ·

Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. has been brought on as a premiere sponsor of the 2014 FLYING Aviation Expo.

Aircraft Spruce has been a mainstay in the aircraft business, selling parts to pilots all over the world for nearly 50 years.

“Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. is known throughout the aviation industry as a trusted source of aviation equipment, parts and supplies,” said Marco Parrotto, owner and president of Lift Event Management, which along with Urban Expositions is organizing and producing the event. “We’re thrilled to have them as a sponsor.”

Aircraft Spruce is a widely-recognized industry name and their sponsorship aligns well with the vision of the Aviation Expo, set for Oct. 31-Nov. 2, at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, Calif.

“Aircraft Spruce is honored to be a premiere sponsor of the FLYING Aviation Expo and to have the opportunity to work with Lift Event Management, Urban Expo, and FLYING magazine to make Aviation Expo a successful aviation convention for years to come,” Jim Irwin, president of Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. said. “The enthusiasm of the general aviation community paired with a popular venue like Palm Springs will make Aviation Expo an exciting show for thousands of participants.”

The three-day aviation showcase and trade show is open to the public and will host a wide variety of aircraft, helicopters, aviation equipment, service, hands-on demonstrations, seminars and a Parade of Planes. There will also be guest speakers discussing subjects like emerging technologies, flying apps for iPads, upgrading instrument panels, engine management and more.

Tickets and registration are now available for purchase online

Early-bird tickets start at just $35 per day. An all-inclusive three-day pass includes access to all seminars, the exhibit hall, Parade of Planes, Friday night kick-off party and Saturday night event for $210. These early bird rates are available until Aug. 29.
