We will be joining the DeLand Showcase this year for their debut show at the DeLand Municipal Airport (KDED) in Florida November 3-5, 2016 in booth number 8. If you have been looking for a fly in destination in sunny Florida before winter sets in please join us! Or drive on down and come see Panthers in action. There will be active runways, up front and center, where you can see Panthers fly and also take a test fit in a cockpit.
Here is some info from Jana Filip on the show.
DeLand Showcase Extends Warm Welcome to Homebuilders
The first annual DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase will be “open for business” in a little more than two months, and excitement for the event is building quickly. Now is the time to make your plans to attend the Showcase from November 3-5, 2016, at the DeLand (Florida) Municipal Airport (KDED).
Since the close of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2016, nearly all of the Showcase’s 100 indoor and outdoor exhibit spaces have been filled, ensuring that the event will host a wide variety of recreational aircraft and their related equipment – headsets, radios, avionics, propellers, etc. – and making the Showcase a great shopping center for aviation enthusiasts.
DeLand Sport Aviation Administrator Jana Filip said, “The Showcase is shaping up to be a great event! The airport and its expansive fields and taxiways accommodate the event nicely, providing convenient auto and aircraft parking and easy access for demo flights. We think visitors and exhibitors alike will have a great experience.”
Forums, workshops, and keynote speakers are also being organized, and demo flights will be available all day, every day for those shopping for a new aircraft. Additionally, manufacturer showcase flights will provide an introduction to many of the aircraft on display during the event.
A Special Welcome to Homebuilders
The DeLand Municipal Airport and Sport Aviation Showcase are committed to supporting sport aviation, and thus extend a warm welcome to pilots of homebuilt aircraft. A special Homebuilts Display area is being created on the Showcase field. Underwing camping is permissible, but will be austere in nature.
The homebuilt field will offer easy access to both the indoor and outdoor exhibits, the food court, Show Center Tent, and other Showcase activities. EAA and AOPA members will receive a 25% discount off the price of admission by showing their membership card.
