| The Winter Doldrums Can't Compare to a January Lakeland Getaway |
Those disappointed by the loss of both the Sebring and DeLand sport aviation fly-ins can rest easy now that the Affordable Flying Expo is on the books for January 9th through the 11th of 2025.
The new fly-in offers a well-timed wintertime getaway, an excuse to take the family down south to enjoy the cozy Florida sunshine in the same excellent facilities we enjoy at Sun 'n Fun. The Affordable Flying Expo will focus on the love of flight, and all things that bring it into reach of the average, fun-loving pilot. Everyone is invited, from pilots and AMT's to manufacturers and owners. The Expo will give the people what they need, with workshops and education rounding things out inside the hangars. Plenty of aircraft and exhibits will also be on hand, giving everyone in the family a little eye candy to walk by and enjoy.
The Affordable Flyer Expo will boast plenty of opportunities to inspect some aircraft, getting shoppers up close and intimate with new aircraft as they navigate the lengthy and stressful purchase process. It's hard enough as it is to canvas a whole category of aircraft and settle on one particular plane after judging all its competitors - but it's near impossible to be content with a purchase without a whole lot of test flying beforehand. The Expo will fix that by giving pilots a nice, low-pressure, enthusiast-focused event with room to breathe. The Expo is for the people and pilots above all. It's a chance to get away for some of the dull, chilly months and hopefully find the perfect fit of fun and function for everyone who likes the affordable side of aviation.
The Affordable Flyer Expo is still growing quickly, gathering exhibitors, manufacturers, educators, and experts to make it the go-to for all things sportplane next January. Whether you miss the warm climate, the spacious facilities, or the endless rows of aircraft at Sun 'n Fun, the Expo will prove to be a great antidote to the winter doldrums.
