Variety of Light Sport Aircraft Displayed at Plane & Pilot Midwest LSA Expo Part 3

By The Aero Experience Team
The recent Plane & Pilot Midwest LSA Expo, recently held at Mount Vernon Outland Airport in central Illinois, featured a variety of light sport aircraft representing the major manufacturers from around the world.  The aircraft were accompanied by representatives from the regional dealerships who flew them to Mount Vernon.  Visitors were welcome to check out the aircraft, get inside the cockpit, and discuss the merits of each offering with all the dealers on the ramp.  Many of the aircraft were in the air during the Expo, giving flight demonstrations to prospective buyers and getting the attention on curious bystanders.  The Aero Experience team was at Mount Vernon Outland Airport, and here we present Part 3 of a review of the light sport aircraft types available, along with the visiting aircraft that flew in support the Expo and plane wash fundraiser.  Special thanks to Airport Manager Chris Collins and the staff and volunteers who made this another successful event.
