Photos: DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase

The first DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase drew a steady stream of LSA pilots and enthusiasts happy to get a look at some of the light sport and experimental aircraft on display and even take some demo flights from the runway at DeLand Municipal Airport in central Florida.

In addition to forums and workshops addressing topics in sport aviation, about 100 exhibitors displayed their products and aircraft on the airport grounds, including CubCrafters, Pipistrel, RANS AutoGyro, Aeromarine and more.

Swift Fuels was also on hand distributing its UL 94 unleaded avgas.

Check out some photos below from the inaugural event November 3-5.
