The highly-anticipated 2017 Midwest LSA Expo is in its third day at Mount Vernon Outland Airport in central Illinois. The Midwest LSA Expo is a very important marketplace for the Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers to demonstrate their products for serious customers. The focus of the event is to place aircraft buyers and sellers in one convenient location.
