Things are shaping up for the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo to be held Jan. 21-24, 2010 at Sebring Regional Airport.

The number and quality of exhibitors continues to grow in the Light Sport Aircraft community, according to a press release.

New vendors, such as Van's Aircraft, will be present and previous exhibitors will be introducing new models. New sponsors including REMOS Aircraft, TECNAM Aircraft and AeroShell join Cessna, Aircraft Spruce and Specialty, Teledyne Continental and MATCO Manufacturing to put on the event that remains totally focused on Light Sport Aircraft and the Sport Pilot Certificate.

The show includes Trikes, power parachutes, Gyros, electric aircraft and both factory-built and kit LSAs.

"We approach our sixth event with anticipation of an outstanding show," said Bob Wood the event chairman. "We continue our focus on providing an outstanding venue for comparing LSAs available in the U.S. market and learning about the associated items such as related supplies and equipment, avionics, engines, training and maintenance. As in the past, our volunteer staff will focus on making this a visitor and exhibitor friendly event."

As in the past, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) will be organizing free educational forums for the show.
