Writer and photographer Tom Snow was able to make opening day of the 2018 U.S. Sport Aviation Expo in Sebring, Florida, and sent along these photos. Enjoy! The event runs through Saturday, Jan. 27.
Scenes from the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo
I was a volunteer for several years when it first started Had a great time,Then the admission prices started climbing too high so i just quit going.Vendors and aircraft makers are trying to sell their products So why should we have to pay so much to get in to see them
I visited the expo for the first time. It was a great excuse for a field trip with the guys. It is a small event, but had fun for the day! If you aren’t into LSA, you may not enjoy as much.
For the last two years the Expo fell flat. The layout is thin to say the least, upon entering the airfield from the steps of the F.B.O. you could view the entire flight line. There was only one vendor tent as opposed to three that was always present. No one seemed happy or friendly, everyone at the individual outside locations acted bored. I apologize if I seem dower or despondent, but I have attended this event for over ten years and it has changed for the absolute worst.
