SEBRING — Preparations for the 12th annual U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, to be held Jan. 20-23, are in full swing, with a “call to volunteers” meeting scheduled for Thursday at the Sebring Civic Center.
More than 120 exhibitors from around the U.S. and Europe will be displaying their aircraft and other aviation equipment at the Sebring Regional Airport during the event.
Non-current pilots can update their knowledge at free “Rusty Pilots” seminars presented by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, officials said. Demo flights will be available daily for interested aircraft buyers, and aircraft owners can display their aircraft for sale in an Aircraft Sales Lot. New this year, all youth under 18 will be admitted free on Jan. 23, when accompanied by an adult.
Expo Director Jana Filip said: “We’re delighted to welcome young people to the airport on Saturday to introduce them to the fun and opportunities of aviation.”
The annual expo volunteer registration meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Sebring Civic Center, 55 W. Center Avenue.
“We will get reacquainted, update volunteers on expo happenings since we were last together, introduce the volunteer team leaders, review the sign-up procedures to volunteer at expo 2016, and enjoy light snacks,” Filip said.
Filip noted that volunteer registration is now automated and can be accessed online at www.sportaviationexpo.com/volunteer.
“On behalf of the Sebring Airport Authority and the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo, we genuinely appreciate the efforts of all our volunteers over the years,” Filip said. “By volunteering for the expo, you are helping to stimulate our local economy, boost tourist development, and showcase Highlands County. And you can see the latest and greatest in the world of sport aviation first-hand, meet new friends from all over the globe, and soak up the Florida sunshine.”
